Flowers bloom as the days get warmer. The Sun appears highter in the sky, and daylight lasts longer. Spring seems like a freash, new beginning. Even though Earth is closest to he Sun in January, the change is small. Earth is exposed to almost the same amount of Sun all year.

As you go further north, due to the tile of the Earth, the less time is spent in the dark and the more time is spent in the light until you eventually reach a point where there is no 'darkness' left even though the Earth rotates. This is a point called the Arctic Circle and try this experiment at home with a tilted globe and torch.

because the earth is tilted and is pointing away from the sun in the Winter at the north pole. In the summer it is tilted toward the sun and the opposite for the south pole.

because when we are in summer we are in the northern hemisphere therefore there is more sunlight hitting the northern part of the hemisphere

Why do you get more hours of daylight in summer?

The axis of the planet tilts causing the sun to be farther North during the summer, if you look at the sun rise now it is much farther south than it will be in the summer.


How many hours of daylight each day does the north pole have during the spring and summer months?

Twenty-four hours of daylight.


Why does Washington state have longer daylight than southern California when they are in the same time zone?

Washington is farther from the equator than California. The closer you get to the equator, the less the amount of daylight per day deviates from 12 hours. The closer you get to the poles, the greater the difference in the amount of daylight between the summer solstice and the winter solstice. I used to live between 40° and 41° north latitude. The amount of daylight there on the summer solstice is about 15 hours, and it's about 9 hours on the winter solstice. Now I live near 30° north latitude, where we get about 14 hours of daylight on the summer solstice and about 10 hours on the winter solstice.

Does Florida or Michigan have longer daylight in the summer?

Florida being closer to the equator would mean that they have slightly longer daylight hours in the summer based on the angle of the earth toward the sun. Michigan gets more daylight during the summer since it is farther from the equator and closer to the Arctic Circle, north of which there is no sunset on the day of the summer solstice. On June 21, Detroit has about 15¼ hours of sunlight while Miami has only about 13 3/4 hours of sunlight. Consequently, on December 21, Detroit has about 9 hours of sunlight while Miami has about 10½ hours of sunlight.


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.


What location has the greatest number of daylight hours?

On June 21, the arctic circle, which is located at 66.5 degrees north latitude, through the north pole at 90 degrees, has 24 hours of daylight. On December 21, the antarctic circle, which is located at 66.5 degrees south latitude, through the south pole at 90 degrees, has 24 hours of daylight.


Where would you be standing if you got 24 hours of daylight in per day in the summer?

North of the arctic circle, or south of the antarctic circle


Approximately how many hours of daylight are received at the North Pole on June 21?
