Between 0 and 24 hours per day. That depends on where you are and when you do your measurement. Far enough north of the polar circle there are weeks when the Sun never "sets" during the summer and when it never "rises" during the winter.
At the equator on the equinox the theoretical sunshine duration is 12 hours.

Why do wet clothes dry faster outdoors on a clear day than on a cloudy day?

Wet clothes dry faster outdoors on a clear day than on a cloudy day because the sun's heat and UV rays can penetrate the fabric and promote evaporation more effectively. On a cloudy day, less sunlight reaches the clothes, leading to lower temperatures and slower evaporation rates.

Daily temperature change?

The daily temperature change refers to the difference in temperature between the warmest and coolest times of the day. This change is influenced by factors like sunlight, weather patterns, and geography. In general, temperatures tend to rise during the day as the sun shines, and fall at night when the sun sets.


Why doesn't Earth become hotter with time as the sun shines on it?

Earth does not become hotter with time as the sun shines on it because the planet maintains a balance between the energy it receives from the sun and the energy it radiates back into space. This balance is maintained by factors such as the atmosphere, oceans, and land surface, which help regulate the temperature on Earth.


What happens to the bodies of water as the sun shines?

As the sun shines, bodies of water absorb heat and energy, causing the temperature to increase through a process called solar heating. This can lead to evaporation, where the water molecules gain enough energy to turn into water vapor and rise into the atmosphere. It can also affect the circulation patterns within the water, influencing currents and contributing to the water cycle.
