Latitude doesn't dictate how high the sun gets in the sky, but it does help us understand position and time. We can use latitude and the suns position to determine not only what day of the year it is, but where we are.
Yes, the movement of the stars across the sky as opposed to the movement of the sun across the sky is what has set up the sidereal day.
apparent solar time
The sun never moves although it might seem to hang low it's just the position of the earth.
The relative position (direction, actually) of a constellation and the Sun changes, due to Earth's orbit around the Sun. Thus, at one moment the Sun might be in a certain constellation; half a year later, the Sun will be in a constellation opposite in the sky.

Does the sun's position in the sky affect the length of daylight ?
east
It depends on whether it is 8am or 8pm. It also depends on whether you are using Daylight Saving Time or not. It also depends on what season it is because Earth tilts on its axis and the sun appears slightly different every day depending on the season.
i think its in the south
MElbert Ronda IS ____________???
Entirely predictable. It's so predictable that we can measure the position of the Sun in the sky to determine our position, a method we call "celestial navigation".
because the earth rotates on its axis

With a watch and by the position of the sun in the sky.
The sun's lowest position in the sky occurs at the Winter Solstice. This usually happens around December 21 which is marked by the shortest day and longest night of the year.
