No, they are not constant at all. The duration of sunlight varies in a sinusoidal pattern, with the amplitude of the pattern set by your latitude. The change in daylight also increases and decreases, depending on your date and your latitude.
Look at the link below to the US Naval Observatory's web site to times of sunrise and sunset for an entire year. Enter your location, and it will calculate the times of sunrise and sunset for a complete year. You can see that near the solstices, the day length changes by less than a minute over the course of a week, while near the equinoxes, it changes by several minutes each day!

How many minutes longer does daylight last each day?
Days never get shorter, they are always the same length. We do, however, lose a few minutes of daylight each day from June 21 to December 21. It's hard to say exactly how many minutes because it depends on one's latitude. Somewhere around 3-4 minutes for those of us in the continental US, I'd guess.
How much daylight is lost each day after June 21?
how many minutes or seconds are lost each day from June 21 and onwards to Dec. 21?
How many a minutes a day does daylight move?
Daylight increase is not a linear function. It is very low at each solstice and equinox, slowly increases to mid term and then decreases again. Latitude also needs to be taken into account.
By how many minutes does the daylight lengthen in the UK?
Daylight increase is not a linear function. It is very low at each solstice and equinox, slowly increases to mid term and then decreases again. Latitude also needs to be taken into account.
How many minutes of daylight are gained per day from Dec to June 21 in Victoria bc Canada?
The number of seconds or minutes gained per day is different for every date, and for every latitude. It runs in a sinusoidal curve; starting from a trough on December 21, the day length begins to CREEP up slowly, day by day, a few seconds, then many seconds, then an additional minute each day. By March 21, the equinox, the Alberta BC days are getting rapidly longer; 4 minutes each day! Then the pace of increase slows, until mid June when the days are getting only seconds longer each day until June 21, when the cycle peaks and begins to fall.
How many hours of daylight does NY have in winter solstice?
From sunrise to sunset is about nine hours and about fifteen minutes. This doesn't include the twilight before sunrise or after sunset (about thirty minutes or so on each end).
How many minutes of daylight are gained per day in Mexico City?
That will vary in a sinusoidal pattern, but it depends on the date. From December 22 to December 23, you gain a few seconds of daylight. But it increases day by day, until on March 21 (the equinox) you're gaining 3 minutes per day. Then it starts to decrease, until from June 19 to June 20, it's only a few seconds more. After the Summer Solstice around June 21, the amount of sunlight each day begins to decrease, in the same pattern.
May 15 gaining or losing time each day?
If May 15 gains time each day, it means the days are longer than 24 hours. If May 15 loses time each day, it means the days are shorter than 24 hours. However, in reality, the length of a day remains constant at 24 hours due to Earth's consistent rotation.
What is the sixth hour of the Jewish day?
The daylight hours are divided in 12. Thus, each hour is shorter than 60 minutes in the winter when the daylight hours are shorter and longer in the summer when daylight hours are longer. These hours are called "Sha'ot Zemaniot". The 6th hour is noon and it corresponds to 6 "Sha'ot Zemaniot" after sunrise.
