Does the equator always have the most hours of daylight?
No, along the equator, every day of the year has 12.1 hours of daylight. That is more than in the hemisphere where it's fall or winter but less than in the hemisphere where it's spring or summer.
How much of the equator has daylight on June 21?
All of the equator has daylight- every day.
What is the length of daylight associated with the equinox at the equator and the poles?
The length of daylight is 12 hours at both the equator and the poles.
A friend lives where there are 12 hours of daylight every day where does this person live and how do you know?
He lives along the equator. Only for areas close to the equator are the day lengths consistent. Some possible locations along the equator; South America (Ecuador, Columbia and Brazil), Africa (Gabon, Congo, and Kenya), and Indonesia.
How many hours of daylight are received each day along the equator?
Since the sun is illuminating 50% of the equator at all times, the time from sunrise to sunset all along the equator is 12 hours every day (actually, it's slightly more than 12 hours due to the refraction of sunlight as it passes at a shallow angle through the atmosphere making the sun visible while it is actually slightly below the horizon).
How many hours of daylight does the equator get at 180 degrees west a day?
Every point along the equator gets a little more than 12 hours of daylight every day.

Does the equator have anything to do with hours of daylight?
Your distance from the equator determines how many hours of sunlight you have on the solstices.
Do the West Coast get more daylight time than the East Coast?
Places along the same line of latitude, one of the imaginary lines that circle the Earth parallel to the equator, have roughly the same amount of daylight each day. Places more south have less daylight time from March to September and more daylight time from September to March.
Why do the areas near the equator only have twelve hours of daylight - even though they are always tilted towards the sun?
Areas near the equator receive roughly 12 hours of daylight throughout the year because the equator receives the most direct sunlight, leading to a nearly equal length of day and night. The tilt of the Earth’s axis contributes to longer days and shorter nights in summer and the reverse in winter, but near the equator, this effect is minimal due to the direct angle of sunlight.
How many hours of daylight are there on the winter solstice at the equator?
The answer is that when a nyan cat flies through the sky it leave a trail of rainbows. These rainbows make the sun get tired so it gives on hemisphere a little bit more sunlight so that the evil galgatrax doesn't unleash his magic toaster.

Which location has the least variation in the length of daylight hours?
All places that are on the Equator have the least variation in the length of daylight hours.
