It will vary by the date. Starting at the winter solstice on 21 December, you'll gain a few seconds of sunlight per day until the end of the month, but this will gradually increase day by day. By mid-February, you're gaining about a minute per day, and by the equinox on March 21, you're gaining 2-3 minutes per day. Then it starts to slow down, so that by the summer solstice around 21 June, you're only gaining a few seconds per day. On the solstice, the longest day of the year, you begin losing a couple of seconds per day, and on down to winter.
The pattern is a sine wave.
In Newfoundland from December to March, the amount of daylight gained per day gradually increases. Around the winter solstice in December, the days start getting longer by a few minutes each day, with the increase becoming more noticeable as spring approaches in March. On average, Newfoundland could gain around 3-5 minutes of daylight per day during this period.
Regarding the reply saying it's a sine wave: Close, but not exactly; it has a slightly different shape, and a very different name. Good explanation, though!
3 minutes a day
6 minutes
Same as the rest of the planet - about four minutes per day.
No matter where you are on the planet - the day lengthens by four minutes each day, after the winter equinox, up to the summer solstice.
Every Day the Earth gains more time. It is only about three minutes that are gained each day, after the winter solstice.
Approximately 4 minutes per day up to the summer solstice... then the day reduces by 4 minutes to the winter solstice.
The amount of daylight gained between December 21 and December 22 is measured in seconds. By the first week in January, it may be as much as a minute. From February 1 to February 2, 2 minutes, and by March 21, 4 minutes per day. Then it begins to decrease until June 21, when the difference goes back to zero.
I think it's about 2 minutes a day in Canada. Anyhow it dpens on where you are on the GLobe! How many minutes in Maine
No, the minutes of daylight gained each day are not constant. They vary depending on the time of year and location. In general, daylight hours increase gradually in the spring and decrease gradually in the fall.
After December 21, the state of MA gains approximately 2-3 minutes of daylight per day as the days start to get longer leading up to the summer solstice in June.
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
