∙ 14y agoIt depends on where you live, because the sun can't shine every place in the world at the same exact time. Some places are dark, and some are light. That's why there are different time zones, so it's very different. So say you live in New York, it would be 8:00 here and if you lived in California it would be 5:00 there. (New York is in the Eastern Time Zone and California is in the Pacific Time Zone.)
Your latitude along with the season would most affect the daylight hours. The northpole during winter has none to very few daylight hours.

∙ 9y agoLongitude has no impact on the length of the day. Latitude is the only factor. Because the rotational axis of the Earth's spin is not "normal to" (meaning, at a 90 degree angle to) the plane of the Earth's orbit, the length of day and night will vary by the season, and by your latitude. At the equator, the day is about 12 hours long all year. At the poles, the "day" is six months long.
The US Naval Observatory's web site (linked below) can calculate a year-long table of sunrise and sunset times for any location.
