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 do you gain per day?

Every Day the Earth gains more time. It is only about three minutes that are gained each day, after the winter solstice.


How many minutes in the longest day of the year?

Every day has 24 hours. Since 1 hour = 60 minutes, (24 hr)*(60 min/hr) = 1440 min. The exception to the 24 hours is that every once in awhile, they add a 'leap second' to the day, so that the atomic clocks stay in sync with the Earth's rotation. If you are referring to minutes of daylight on the Summer Solstice (day with the most daylight hours), then I'm sure there are tables out there to find this information, but it will vary by location. In areas near the Arctic Circle they have daylight nearly all day in the Summer time, for example.


How many minutes of daylight are gained per day from December to March in Glasgow?

Its not a constant value, from the winter solstice (shortest day, Dec 21) the increase is very slight rising to a maximum increase per day at the spring equinox ( Mar 20 ) As a rough guide, the total increase from mid december ( 7 hrs. 2 mins daylight) to mid March (11 hrs 48 mins daylight) is 296 mins. so that gives you 286 mins increase in 91 days = average increase of (286 / 91) 3.14 minutes per 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.
