No. That would be an Equinox. The solstice is when the earth is tilted at maximum angle, (23 1/2 degrees) from the plane of the orbit around the sun. Either north or south pole is closer. The exact difference of night and day will vary depending on where you are on earth.
Every country on Earth experiences day and night due to the rotation of the planet on its axis. The length of day and night varies depending on the time of year and the location on Earth.
The length of day and night varies throughout the year due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. In general, during the spring and fall equinoxes, day and night are approximately equal at around 12 hours each. During the summer solstice, days are longer and nights are shorter, while during the winter solstice, nights are longer and days are shorter.
Well, darling, in the rainforest, the length of day and night is pretty much the same as anywhere else on Earth. It's roughly 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness, give or take a few minutes depending on the time of year. So, you can enjoy the lush greenery and exotic wildlife during the day, and then cozy up in your hammock under the stars at night.

Day and night are of equal length at the equator, which is an imaginary line that circles the Earth halfway between the North and South Poles. This phenomenon occurs during the equinoxes, which happen around March 20-21 and September 22-23 each year.
During the Autumn equinox the length of the day and night are nearly equal. The length of the day on the equinox is approximately twelve hours.
Yes, during an equinox the length of the day and the length of the night are actually the same.
An equinox occurs when the length of the day is equal to the length of the night. Here on Earth, it occurs around March 21 (the Vernal Equinox) and September 21 (the Autumnal Equinox).
The length of day and night is equal at the Vernal and Autumnal equinox.
The length of day and night is equal at the Vernal and Autumnal equinox.
Either of two times of the year when the sun crosses the plane of the earth's quarter and day and night are of equal length
during fall and spring
The average length of a day on Earth is about 24 hours (23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4 seconds to be precise), while the length of night is the same. This is due to the rotation of the Earth on its axis, which creates a day-night cycle.
The main events are: 1. Winter solstice - when the earth is tilted towards the sun. 2. Spring equinox - when day and night are equal in length. 3. Summer solstice - when the earth is tilted away from the sun. 4. Autumnal equinox - when day and night are equal in length.
