Because the equator is closer to the sun year round

All places near the equator have 12 hour days year round because the Earth's axis is not tilted relative to its orbit around the sun at the equator. This means that the sunlight is evenly distributed throughout the year, resulting in equal lengths of day and night. As you move away from the equator, towards the poles, the tilt of the Earth's axis causes variations in day length throughout the year, resulting in longer days in summer and shorter days in winter.

How fast does venus rotate or revolve?
Venus takes about 243 Earth days to complete a full rotation, which is very slow by planet standards. Venus has an equatorial circumference of 23,628 miles, which gives us a tangential rotational speed of about 4 miles per hour at the equator. The speed slows away from the equator in proportion to the sine of the latitude. By comparison, the tangential speed at Earth's equator is more than 1,000 miles per hour.
How fast are you moving in miles per hour from west to east at the equator?
1,040 miles per hour (rounded)
What part of the surface of the sun moves the fastest?
The Sun rotates faster at the equator. Not only in km/hour, but also in angular speed. From Wikipedia: "The period of this actual rotation is approximately 25.6 days at the equator and 33.5 days at the poles." Note that the Sun is not a rigid body like the Earth. The differential rotation is believed to be caused by a combination of convection currents and Coriolis effects.
Why does earths surface bulge at the equator?
Because the Earth is spinning - at about 1000 miles per hour at the equator.
What is the earth greatest speed of earths rotation?
The speed of rotation is greatest at the equator; 1038 miles per hour.
Why do places near the equator have 12 hour days year round?
Because the equator is closer to the sun year round
Which geographic region has 12-hour days and a 12-hour nights every day of the year?
the equator
How many hour are in a day how many hour are in a night?
Depends on the time of year and place. When you are at the equator, the days are exactly 12 hours and the nights are exactly 12 hours.
How many times does the hour hand go round the clock in one week?
Every day the hour had travels once round the clock in the morning and one round the clock in the afternoon, so it travels twice round the clock in 1 day. There are 7 days in a week, thus the hour hand travels 7 x 2 = 14 times round the clock in a week.
How long does it take to drive around earth's equator?
If you were driving 60 miles per hour nonstop, it would take you approximately 98.243 days to travel around the globe.
How many miles does the world rotate per an hour?
The earth's circumference at the Equator is 24,902 miles. It makes a complete rotation in 24 hours, so divide the Equator's length by 24. The answer is that, at the Equator, the Earth rotates at 1,037 miles per hour.

The trip took 317 days What was the average speed of the sailboat in miles per hour Round to the nearest tenth of a mile hour?
We're missing a value, we'll need the distance traveled to determine that.
How many days does it take Dan to walk across the world?
Assuming this Dan is walking around the earth at the equator, he can walk on water, doesn't sleep or stop for any reason and he's doing 5 miles an hour. He should return to his starting point in about 207.51 days. On a more realistic note though Dan will probably only average about 3 miles per hour and sleep 8 hours a day. Still assuming he's traveling along the equator and can walk on water it will now take him 518.78 days.
How many days will you have to work to reach 48 hours?
6 eight-hour days. 8 six-hour days. 2 24-hour days.

Half an hour is how many days?
no days just half an hour
