That varies by date and latitude. On the first day of autumn, the fall equinox, the daylight period is 12 hours. The duration of daylight decreases several minutes per day, decreasing until early December at which time the change in day length is a matter of a few seconds each day until the winter solstice on December 21.

First day of the year that there is exactly 12 hours of daylight?

The first day of the year with exactly 12 hours of daylight varies depending on your location. In general, this occurs around the spring or autumn equinox when the sun is directly above the equator, leading to equal day and night lengths.


When is day and night equally long?

Day and night are equally long during the spring and autumn equinoxes. At these times, the Sun is directly above the equator, resulting in approximately 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness worldwide.


How many hours of daylight does the equator get at 180 degrees west a day?

How many minutes of daylight in a day on august first?

The amount of daylight on August 1st will depend on where you are in the world. In Indiana on August 1st, there will be 14 hours and 10 minutes of daylight, which will translate to 850 minutes of daylight.


How many hours of daylight are there in each month?

There is no answer to that, because it varies all around the world. So the amount of daylight on a given day in one part of the world, isn't the same in all other parts of the world. In the middle of the northern hemisphere's winter there is no daylight at the North Pole, but there is more and more as you head south ending in there being 24 hours of daylight at the South Pole, where it is the middle of summer. You can also say that there is always daylight somewhere in the world, and therefore there is permanent daylight on Earth, so there is 24 hours of daylight every day.
