To calculate the average hours of daylight in a given city, you would typically take the total hours of daylight for each day over a specific time period (like a month or a year) and then divide by the number of days in that period. This would give you the average hours of daylight for that time frame in that city.
In north Norway in April, there are around 15-18 hours of daylight each day. This time of year marks the transition to nearly continuous daylight as the region experiences the midnight sun phenomenon.
No, they are not quite the same thing.
The dawn is when the sky begins to lighten, sunrise is when the Sun "peeks" over the horizon.
Dawn is the beginning of twilight before sunrise.
Sunrise is defined as when the first part of the Sun's disc appears.
The "Sahara Desert" is a broad expanse of northern Africa, roughly from about 10 degrees north latitude to about 23 degrees north latitude. There are a number of smaller "regional" areas that are often lumped together by the term "Sahara".
The precise amount of sunlight would vary by date and by latitude, but let's use 20N and December 21. That spot gives us about 10 hours 55 minutes of sunlight for the shortest day of the year. That close to the equator, there won't be a large difference in the duration of sunlight during the course of a year. At the equator, of course, the length of the days and nights are pretty much equal throughout the year.
The US Naval Observatory's web site has a calculator that can generate the precise time of sunrise and sunset for any location and date. See the link below to generate your own calculations for the precise location and date you're interested in.
No, Utah is in the Mountain Time Zone, which is UTC-7 during standard time and UTC-6 during daylight saving time. It is not one hour ahead.
Daylight saving time typically begins in March, resulting in more daylight in the evening rather than the morning. As we move into spring, the days naturally begin to get longer, so you'll start to see brighter mornings as we progress through the season.
There is not a set date for either of these times. Nevertheless, they follow the rule that the last Sunday in March the clocks go forward. The last Sunday in October the clocks go back. This can be remembered with the mnemonic "the clocks spring forward in spring and fall back in fall"
There are 289 days between August 8, 2011, and May 23, 2012.
Summer mornings in Florida are typically warm and humid, with temperatures already rising into the 80s by early morning. It can be quite peaceful with the sun rising over the palm trees and birds chirping, but it's important to plan outdoor activities early to avoid the intense midday heat and afternoon storms that are common during the summer months.
During the summer months, one hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, causing the sun to be higher in the sky and the days to be longer. This is due to the Earth's axial tilt and its orbit around the sun. The tilt results in more direct sunlight and longer daylight hours during the summer in that hemisphere.
Eastern Daylight Saving Time was not in use on the 21st of December 2010 (unless you are referring to Australian Eastern Daylight Saving Time). Even if it were, you would need to specify a city or a set of geographical coordinates.
There is no country that has no daylight. All countries experience daylight due to the rotation of the Earth on its axis which causes the cycle of day and night. However, regions near the poles may have periods of continuous daylight or darkness during certain times of the year, known as the midnight sun or polar night.
On October 22, 2009, the sun rose in Miami, FL at around 7:25 AM Eastern Standard Time.
The longest day of the year, also known as the summer solstice, occurs around June 21st in the Northern Hemisphere. It is when the North Pole is tilted closest to the sun, resulting in the longest period of daylight for that hemisphere.
Yes, winter nights are generally darker than summer nights. This is because the Earth's tilt causes longer nights in winter, resulting in more darkness compared to summer nights when the days are longer and nights shorter.
Daylight savings time was first observed in Germany during World War I. It began on the last Sunday of April 1916 11:00 PM central European Time. The clocks were set back on the first Sunday in October at 1:00 AM Central European Savings Time.
In 1917 and 1918 the rules were slightly different occurring at 2:00 and 3:00 AM on the third Mondays of April and September respectively. The practice was discontinued until WWII when it was reestablished. [de.wikibedia.org]
Muslim prayer times vary throughout the day and are based on the position of the sun. The five obligatory prayers in Islam are Fajr (before dawn), Dhuhr (midday), Asr (afternoon), Maghrib (just after sunset), and Isha (night). Worshippers can find specific prayer times for their location using prayer time calculators or Islamic apps.
In Spanish, you say "cambio de horario de verano" to refer to the Daylight Saving Time change.
The time of sunrise and sunset is very dependent on the precise location and the date in question.
You can calculate the time of sunrise and sunset easily by visiting the United States Naval Observatory web site's Sunrise & Sunset calculator. You will need the date, city and state for US locations, or the date, latitude, longitude and time zone for any other locations in the world.

The longest period of daylight typically occurs during the summer solstice, which falls around June 21st in the Northern Hemisphere and around December 21st in the Southern Hemisphere. During the summer solstice, locations closer to the poles experience up to 24 hours of daylight due to the tilt of Earth's axis.
Try this (it works for a similar model): For the Sharp SPC374T Atomic Clock - Time Zone setting- Press the "Time" button once, the time zone will show where 'Day' usually is (e.g., "PA" for Pacific), use the Up or Down button to adjust. Press the time button once to save.
Nightfall, also known as twilight, typically lasts for about 30-40 minutes after sunset. It is the period when the sky gradually darkens as the sun goes below the horizon. During this time, the sky transitions from the blue hour to complete darkness.
