yes
She sat near the window, looking over to the horizon, waiting for daylight to come.
Daylight duration refers to the total length of time over a specified period, be it day, week, month or years. Sunshine duration refers to the duration of sunlight over a given period of time.
days are almost exactly as long as nights
An equinox is the moment when the Sun is directly over the Earth's equator, and the apparent position of the Sun at that moment. Daylight savings follows the equinox.
They don't. When it's summer in Australia, the ANTarctic experiences 24-hour daylight for a few months while the ARCTIC, near the NORTH pole, has continual night.
The Equator
Yes - at the summer and winter equinox
if the axis is over 90 degrees to the norh as it is in the summer
The average daylight hours vary depending on the season and location. In general, locations closer to the equator experience more consistent daylight throughout the year, with around 12 hours of daylight per day. In contrast, regions closer to the poles can have extreme variations in daylight hours, with periods of continuous daylight in the summer and continuous darkness in the winter.
The Sun reaches an EQUINOX when it is directly above Earth's equator and the number of daylight hours equals the number of nighttime hours all over the world. At this time, neither the northern or the southern hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun.
equater
It depends on where you are Not Really, If you live on the Equator, Every 24 hour period has 12 hours of daylight, and twelve hours of darkness. For every one else, there are only two 24 hour periods during the year When daylight hours equal night hours. These two days are the Vernal and Autumnal Equinox. (Equinox means equal). If you account for the differences in the number of daylight and dark hours in a 24 hour period, over an entire year, the average is 4380 hours each for daylight and darkness.
no
No, the sun can only caste sunlight (daylight) over the surface of the globe (earth) that is facing towards it at any one time.
The sun is directly over the Tropic of Cancer, latitude 23.5 degrees north of the Equator. This has the most hours of daylight on June 22nd, which is the Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere.
Yes they are equal because equinox means equal nights.
The length of the day is governed by the latitude and season of the year. The Mojave will have the same amount of daylight as other areas of the world at the same latitude and season. Being a desert does not increase/decrease the number of hours of daylight.
