Has to do with the earths tilt and whether you live in the northern or Southern Hemisphere.
The planet Earth has an axial tilt of 23 and a half degrees, relative to the plane of its orbit around the sun (the plane of the ecliptic). Thus, during the winter in England, the Earth is tilting away from the sun, and during the summer it is tilting toward the sun.
Reykjavik, Iceland experiences the greatest variation in daylight hours during the year due to its location near the Arctic Circle. In summer, Reykjavik can have almost 24 hours of daylight known as the Midnight Sun, while in winter it can have only a few hours of daylight.
Ideally, the summer solstice is the day with the most sun. It's either June 20th or June 21st. It depends on the year, and what the government decides to publish it as. I've seen it vary a few times, but I've mostly seen it as the 21st.
In Norway on December 25th, there are only a few hours of daylight. In locations like Oslo, there may be around 5-6 hours of daylight depending on the specific location. The further north you go in Norway, the less daylight hours you can expect.
All of Antarctica is south of 66 degrees S -- the Antarctic Circle. The circle marks the place beyond which there is at least one 24 hour period of no sunrise/ sunset per year.Antarctica is found between 60 degrees and 90 degrees S. This means that depending on where you are on the continent, the hours of daylight during summer will be 24 and the number of days with no sunset may vary from a few to six months
The most likely place in the UK to experience almost no light during the summer is in the far northern regions of Scotland, such as the Shetland Islands. Due to its high latitude, these areas can have very long daylight hours during the summer months, with only a few hours of darkness or even constant daylight known as the midnight sun.
For most of the year the time difference is five hours. There are a few weeks in the spring and in the fall where the difference is four hours or six hours depending on when each country goes on and off daylight savings time (summer time). The UK and the USA have different schedules for the use of daylight savings time.

Yes. About the same (maybe a few hours before/after?)
In Hammerfest, Norway, during January (winter), the days are very short and the nights are long, with only a few hours of daylight. In contrast, during July (summer), the days are very long with almost 24 hours of daylight and very short or no nights at all.
This depends on the school district you're attending summer school in. It may start immediately after the conclusion of the standard school year up to a few weeks.
It depends on what part of Texas and how long after summer solstice. Could be a very few seconds to over a couple of hours.
