This may address what you want; if it does not, please restate the question. They don't call it "equator" for nothin'. It divides the earth into equal (probably not down to the nearest molecule) hemispheres, north and south. It is also the mid-way mark between the 'poles', north and south. Yes, that is obvious. When it is summer in the north, the north pole receives sun around the clock, and the south pole is in darkness around the clock. Six months later, the light situation is reversed. We also know that during the summer in the temperate zones, daylight lasts longer than night time. The Big Question is: Will the lengths of daylight and night time change at the equator throughout the year the way it does for the poles and for the temperate zones? No, it really doesn't. The equator represents a kind of 'averaging' of daylight and night time for the north and the south. If you live on the equator, you may never have summer sunlight until 8, 9 or 10 pm the way you would in other parts of the globe, but you will also never have shorter or non-existent periods of sunlight. The movements of the earth aren't quite as simple as we can easily imagine from playing with globes; for example the orientation toward the sun of the earth's poles is not most pronounced at the moments of perihelion and aphelion. Learning this was a mind-blowing revelation for me. There are also some subtle changes in earth's orbital velocity because of our elliptical orbit. But our rotational, or axial velocity is virtually constant. So we probably cannot say that sunrise and sunset are always precisely, down to the smallest fraction of a second, at the same times every day at the equator. But the differences are minor and far too small to experience in any direct way.

What month contains the shortest day in the northern hemisphere?
All days are the same length. Except in the polar zones, each day is characterized by some period ofsun-up, and the rest of the time sun-down.In the northern hemisphere, the longest period of sun-up occurs in June, on the day of the Solstice.
Why Does the length of day increase?
During the spring, the length of the day (in the northern hemisphere) is increasing because the Earth is moving in its orbit around the sun, closer to the point at which the northern hemisphere is pointed toward the sun by 23 and a half degrees (the axial tilt) which gives it more daylight and less night.
