Florida being closer to the equator would mean that they have slightly longer daylight hours in the summer based on the angle of the earth toward the sun.
Michigan gets more daylight during the summer since it is farther from the equator and closer to the Arctic Circle, north of which there is no sunset on the day of the summer solstice. On June 21, Detroit has about 15¼ hours of sunlight while Miami has only about 13 3/4 hours of sunlight. Consequently, on December 21, Detroit has about 9 hours of sunlight while Miami has about 10½ hours of sunlight.

Time difference between uk and florida?
It ranges from 4 to 6 hours. The U.K. is 4 hours ahead of most of Florida while the U.S. is observing daylight saving time and the U.K. is not. When both countries are on standard time or both are on daylight saving time or summer time, the U.K. is 6 hours ahead of the part of the Florida Panhandle west of the Appalachia River. The U.K. is 5 hours ahead of most of Florida most of the time.
Why does Washington state have longer daylight than southern California when they are in the same time zone?
Washington is farther from the equator than California. The closer you get to the equator, the less the amount of daylight per day deviates from 12 hours. The closer you get to the poles, the greater the difference in the amount of daylight between the summer solstice and the winter solstice. I used to live between 40° and 41° north latitude. The amount of daylight there on the summer solstice is about 15 hours, and it's about 9 hours on the winter solstice. Now I live near 30° north latitude, where we get about 14 hours of daylight on the summer solstice and about 10 hours on the winter solstice.

Light takes 8 minutes to reach the face of the earth and during the summer time, earth is closest to the sun. When the Earth has rotated, not facing the sun, the light still needs to take time to reach the Earth but the Sun is not in the radius of our position so it is no longer directing sunlight towards us. Giving the illusion of longer daylight.
