Periods of daylight longer than 12.1 hours can happen only in one hemisphere at a time. It happens only while the hemisphere is tilted toward the sun. The maximum time between sunrise and sunset depends on the latitude of the observer. Along the equator the daylight period is 12.1 hours every day of every year. At each of the north and south poles there is one sunrise and one sunset each year. Only places north of the Arctic Circle and south of the Antarctic Circle can have at least one day per year when the sun is visible throughout the entire 24-hour period. That is because the 23.44-degree tilt of the Earth's rotational axis causes the 23.44 degrees of latitude closest to the pole to be completely lit by the sun at the moment of the summer solstice.

When on earth has 14 hours of daylight is the rest of the world having 14 hours of daylight as well?
No, it is not. In fact, when the Northern hemisphere is having longer days, the Southern hemisphere is having shorter days (and conversely).
When are the daylight hours shortest?
In winter, you go south to get longer days. In summer, going north yields longer days.
What is the difference in daylight hours between midsummer an midwinter?
That midsummer is 2 hours longer then minwinter.
Approximately how many hours of daylight are received at the North Pole on June 21?
It depends on your location on Earth. At the south pole, there are 0 hours of daylight on June 21... until ~13,000 years from now when the Earth's axis of rotation will precess to give it summer in June.
Why do northern states like North Dakota have more daylight hours than Florida?
They only have more daylight hours in the summer because of the tilting of the earth on its axis.

How many hours of daylight are there on Mercury?
There are 1407.5 hours of daylight on Mercury which is 56.646 earth days!!
Will the northern hemisphere have daylight?
The northern hemisphere will have daylight due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. As the Earth revolves around the Sun, different parts of the hemisphere receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year. This results in longer daylight hours during summer and shorter daylight hours during winter in the northern hemisphere.
How many hours of daylight are there on earth?
9hrs
What causes daylight hours?
Rotation of the Earth.
Why do you have short and long days?
The Earth's axis is on a tilt of 23.5 deg. This is what causes the days (daylight hours) to be longer in the summer and shorther in the winter.
Where should you go in the winter for longer daylight hours?
Australia
When are the daylight hours shortest?
In winter, you go south to get longer days. In summer, going north yields longer days.
How does the tilt of earth axis effect the number of daylight hours effect the temperature of a location on earth?
Less light means the temperature falls. With fewer hours of daylight, there is less time for temps to increase at all. The combination produces longer periods of lower temperatures and a breeze or winds increase the cold's effects.
What is the difference in daylight hours between midsummer an midwinter?
That midsummer is 2 hours longer then minwinter.
What is the sixth hour of the Jewish day?
The daylight hours are divided in 12. Thus, each hour is shorter than 60 minutes in the winter when the daylight hours are shorter and longer in the summer when daylight hours are longer. These hours are called "Sha'ot Zemaniot". The 6th hour is noon and it corresponds to 6 "Sha'ot Zemaniot" after sunrise.
Average daylight hours?
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.
