Why is great circle route important?
It helps you minimize travel time and optimize fuel use. I think the reason is because when traveling on a great circle, a circle whose plane passes through the center of a sphere, it would take alot longer than traveling on a smaller circle. For example: When traveling on the equator it will take longer to get from europe to U.S but when traveling on the meridian it will take a shorter time.

Is the days shorter and nights get longer?
In the northern hemisphere, USA and UK included, during Spring the days become longer and the nights become shorter. Conversely, in the southern hemisphere, Australia, and South Africa included , during the same period the days become shorter and the nights become longer. Depending on which side of the Equator you are on , the seasons and daylight hours are reversed. During Autumn (Fall)(northern hemisphere), the whole process is reversed in both hemispheres.
What happens to the length of day the number of hours of daylight as you move north of the equator?
As you go north - or south - of the equator, and closer to the poles, the days will become longer in summer, and shorter in winter. Also, the Sun will no longer go rise and set vertically, so before sunrise and after sunset there will be a longer time in which there is still some light.
What is the coastline paradox?
The measure of the length of a coastline depends on the level of detail at which the measuring is done. For example: if you measure the coastline of a roughly circular island, at a low level of detail, where little ins and outs along the coastline are ignored, the length will be shorter than if you measure every in and out at a fine level of detail, because each of these little ins and outs adds to the length. The closer or finer you measure, the longer the measurement. This is called the "coastline paradox".
