Sunlight bounces around in the atmosphere, extending the length of the day both in the morning (before sunrise) and after sunset, roughly 30 minutes or so. Without an atmosphere it would be pitch black as soon as the sun set far enough for light to extinguish from any mountain slope eastward of you--the total day would be about an hour shorter.

What is autumnal equinox length of day?
During the two equinoxes in spring and fall, the days and nights are of equal length. This is because of the position of the earth in its orbit around the sun.
How much earlier does the moon rise each day as you approach Spring Equinox?
Sun rises and set due to rotation of earth. As sun moves from equator length of day increases or decreases depend upon which hemisphere sun is i.e. deceleration of sun. Length of the day rapidly increases towards the pole. As per your question it depended upon your position w.r.t. latitude. If you are close to pole length of the day increases more than if you are close to equator.
Why do tornadoes occur late in the day?
Tornadoes can occur at any time of day but are most common in the late afternoon because that is when the lower atmosphere is generally warmest and thus when the atmosphere is most unstable. An unstable atmosphere is needed for thunderstorms and strong thunderstorms are needed for tornadoes. The greater the instability the stronger the thunderstorms can become.

It takes 24 hours (the length of one day) for the Earth to rotate once. If the rotation sped up, the length of a day would shorten.
What would happen to the length of the day if earth took 40 hours to rotate?
In that case, the length of the day would also be approximately 40 hours.
What would happen if the earths rate of rotation decreased what would increase?
The length of the day
What is the length of earth atmosphere?
