24 hours

The time from sunrise to sunset is about 12 hours and 7 minutes at the equator and within a few minutes of that most other places, but it's over 24 hours at both poles that day.

If Earth had no atmosphere, there would be exactly 12 hours from sunrise to sunset just about everywhere (but nobody would be around to see it).

In the northern hemisphere what occurs on september 22 or 23?

During this time, day and night are approximately equal in length, with the sun positioned directly above the equator. It is a transition point where the sun's path begins to shift towards the south, leading to shorter days and longer nights as winter approaches.
