On the equinoxes the poles both have common day of 24 hors of sunlight as the sun circles the horizon. Until the next equinox one pole has shorter days while the other maintains its 24 hours of daylight while the sun rises higher in the sky intil it reaches its maximum elevation of 26 degrees on the summer of winter solstice (depending on the pole)

Is the number of hours of daylight the same all over the world?

yes


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.

How many hours of darkness are there in one day?

It depends on where you are and what season it is. If you are at the equator then there is 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of night. If you are above the arctic circle then during the winter there is 24 hours of darkness each day, this will occur on Dec. 21st. If you are further above the arctic circle the darkness can last for months. During the summer there will be 24 hours of daylight on June 21st, and again this can last for months if you are very far north. The same is true for the South pole as well.


Is there any place the sun never comes during certain parts of the year?

Yes, locations near the poles experience periods of continuous daylight (midnight sun) during their respective summers, when the sun does not set for several weeks or even months. Conversely, during winter, these same locations can experience periods of continuous darkness (polar night) when the sun remains below the horizon for weeks or months.

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.

Which country have 23 hours a day?

None. Every country has the same length day. The only time a day is ever 23 hours is when the first day of daylight-saving begins, and then it is brought forward 1 hour, technically making it the only 23-hour day of the year. Then when it returns to normal time at the end of daylight saving there is a 25-hour day to compensate.


How many daylight hours are on September 23?

On September 23, the number of daylight hours varies depending on the location. In the Northern Hemisphere, this date typically marks the autumn equinox, when day and night are approximately equal, leading to around 12 hours of daylight. In the Southern Hemisphere, the same day marks the spring equinox, also resulting in roughly 12 hours of daylight. However, specific sunrise and sunset times can differ based on geographic location.
