That varies a lot, depending on the season, and the latitude. ============================================== Another contributor continued: That depends on the date and your exact location on the earth. If you average it over a year's time, it's 12 hours, no matter where you are on the earth.
At the time of the equinoxes ... roughly March 21 and September 21.
The arctic has 24 hours of darkness ans 24 hours of daylight at different parts of the year because of Earth's tilt on it axis. When it is summer, the arctic is in constant daylight because it is constantly receiving sunlight. The arctic region is facing towards the sun all summer. During winter, it is the complete opposite, it is in constant darkness because the arctic is facing away from the sun all winter
That is called the equinox.
Depends on what time of year it is
It depends on your location, in some places they are
about 12 hours

On average, there are 12 hours of darkness in a 24-hour day. This is because the Earth rotates on its axis, causing half of the planet to be in darkness while the other half is in daylight. The length of darkness can vary depending on the time of year and the location on Earth.
Actually the three hours of darkness in the daytime at Jesus' crucifixion, was recorded in three Gospels: Matthew 27.45 Mark 15.33 Luke 24.44 Only John does not record it in his Gospel.
Daytime is when you can see the sun from where you are, and its light and heat can reach you. Nighttime is when the sun is on the other side of the Earth from you, and its light and heat don’t get to you
The average hours of darkness per year can vary depending on location. In general, the average is around 12 hours per day, which equates to about 4380 hours of darkness per year. However, this can be influenced by factors such as latitude and season.
The length of daylight or nighttime hours does not affect the seasons, but the seasons affect the length of daytime and nighttime hours. During the summer, the earth is tilted more toward the sun, resulting in longer daytime hours. During the winter months, the earth is tilted away from the sun, resulting in shorter days and longer nights.
Day and night are caused by the rotation of the Earth on its axis. As the Earth rotates, different parts of the planet are exposed to sunlight (daytime) and darkness (nighttime). This rotation cycle occurs approximately every 24 hours, leading to the alternating pattern of day and night.
Reduced visibility, and it's been shown that humans tend to be less aware during hours of darkness.
