about 12 hours a day more in summer, less in winter
The location closest to the equator experiences the least change in daylight hours throughout the year. This is because the equator receives roughly 12 hours of daylight year-round, with only minimal fluctuations.
Only above the Arctic and Antarctic Circles experience 24 hours of daylight at any point. Being near the equator, the sun angle and hours of daylight don't change much throughout the year.
The daylight hours in the UK vary throughout the year due to the tilt of Earth's axis and its orbit around the Sun. This causes the angle at which sunlight hits the UK to change, affecting the length of daylight hours. This phenomenon results in longer daylight hours in the summer and shorter daylight hours in the winter.
The speed at which the hours of daylight change varies based on the location and time of year. Near the equator, daylight hours change minimally throughout the year. However, closer to the poles, such as in the Arctic or Antarctic regions, daylight can change dramatically, with periods of continuous daylight or darkness during certain times of the year.
