During the summer months, the Earth's northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun. As a result, areas north of the Arctic Circle (i.e. north of 66.5622° latitude) will experience what is called a midnight sun during the Summer Solstice - a phenomena where the sun does not fully set (i.e. there is 24 hours of sunlight on this day).The exact number of hours of sunlight that occur on other days during the summer will depend on where you the specific location within the Arctic circle and which day you are referring to. Between the Spring (or Vernal) Equinox and the Fall Equinox - days where all locations on Earth experience an equal number of sunlight and nighttime hours - the number of hours of sunlight will vary between 12 (at the equinox) and 24 (at the Summer solstice).

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.

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.
