That varies a lot depending on the latitude, from 12 hour day throught Winter and Summer (at the equator), to the Sun being above the horizon all the time, i.e., 24-hour day (in summer, north of the northern polar circle or south of the southern polar circle), or all the time under the horizon, i.e. 0-hour day (in winter, north of the northern polar circle or south of the southern polar circle).

Ah, it sounds like you're talking about the moment when both summer and winter start depending on the location on our lovely planet. Remember, Earth is always moving around the Sun, so summer starts in the northern hemisphere in June and winter in the southern hemisphere at that time. Then, around December, it's winter in the northern hemisphere and summer in the southern hemisphere. It's like a lovely dance that keeps everything in balance. Enjoy the beauty of each season, wherever you are!
The longest period of daylight happens at the summer solstice. The shortest day occurs at the winter solstice.
At the winter solstice, the shadow cast by the midday sun is longer than on any other day of the year, and at the summer solstice, it is as short as it ever gets.
The winter solstice (shortest day) of the northern hemisphere is simultaneously the longest day (the summer solstice) in the southern hemisphere. The southern hemisphere summer solstice, falls between December 20 and December 23 inclusive.
12 hours each on average, same as anywhere else on Earth. At the poles there is six months of day during the summer and six months of night during the winter, but it's still 12 hours per day on average.
They are the Summer and Winter Solstices
It depends on what time of the year it is. In the winter is dark all day long but in the summer it's the completely diffrent
summer shadows are shortest and winter shadows are long.
The Winter Games are about 1½ years after the Summer Games; the Summer Games are about 2½ after the Winter Games.
The first day of summer is known as the summer solstice, while the first day of winter is called the winter solstice. These solstices occur when the sun reaches its highest or lowest position in the sky, resulting in the longest or shortest day of the year.
Shadows lengths are less in summer than winter.
Solstice means day, Summer and Winter solstice is equivilent to Summer and Winter Day, meaning the changing of the days at that point.
Summer typically has more daylight hours than winter due to the Earth's tilt and position in its orbit. During the summer solstice, the Northern Hemisphere receives the most daylight hours, while during the winter solstice, the Northern Hemisphere receives the fewest daylight hours.
it will float better in winter
In 2014, the first day of summer in NY is Saturday, June 21st. After a long winter and short spring, summer is a welcomed season.
The first day of winter in Antarctic is June 21; the first day of summer is December 21. These dates begin the seasons throughout the southern hemisphere.
7-8 hours during the summer 4-5 in the winter
