Sunrise is the start of the sun for that day, and sunset is the end of the sun for that day. If you have the sunrise and sunset hours, you can calculate how many hours the sun shine in a day by following formula: sunset - sunrise.

Example: sunset 8 am; sunset 5 pm.
Since 5 pm is also known as 17:00 hours and 8 am as 8:00 hrs
(17:00 hours = noon which is 12:00 + 5:00 = 17:00)

You can calculate: 17:00 - 08:00 = 9 hours.

The same as local apparent noon. When the sun is the highest in the sky. This is true. However; to be more specific solar noon is half way between sunrise and sunset. It's at solar noon that a point gets the most direct sunlight of the day. To calculate solar noon you find out how many hours of daylight there are between sunrise and sunset and divide by 2. Add the quotient to the sunrise time and that will give you the solar noon time.
