∙ 13y agoThat varies a lot, depending on the latitude. To take two extreme examples, near the equator, at the solstices the days will have almost exactly 12 hours. Near the polar circle, at the summer solstice the day will have about 24 hours, and at the winter solstice, about 0 hours. In between those extremes, the length of the day gradually increases (for the case of the summer solstice), from the equator to the polar circle.

∙ 13y agoThe "solstices" are points on the map of the stars. The sun appears to reach
those points and pass one of at some moment around June 21, and the other
one at some moment around December 22, each year. At those moments, the
sun is directly over some point on the Tropic of Cancer (June) and the Tropic of
Capricorn (December). Those are the only two moments in a year when either
of those configurations can occur.

When does Darwin Australia get the most sunlight?
Tricky question. The longest day of the year (summer solstice) usually falls on December 22 or 23 each year, the equivalent of the winer solstice in the northern hemisphere. However, this date also happens to fall during the monsoonal season, so there is a good chance that Darwin does not receive the most sunlight on this day each year.
