You would move farther away from the equator because of the tilt of Earth's axis.

When on earth are there equal periods of daylight and darkness?
At some point there is a balance between the daylight hours and nighttime hours but I do not know the exact date or time period.
How does the tilt of earth axis effect the number of daylight hours effect the temperature of a location on earth?
Less light means the temperature falls. With fewer hours of daylight, there is less time for temps to increase at all. The combination produces longer periods of lower temperatures and a breeze or winds increase the cold's effects.
What is Equinox Latin for?
"Equal Nights". On the equinoxes, March 21 and September 21, the tilt of the Earth and its orbit combine to put the apparent position of the Sun directly over the equator. At that point, the day and the night periods are equal.
What are some examples to show how tides can alter the rotation and revolution of celestial bodies?
Most of the large moons in our solar system rotate so that they always show the same side to the planet. This is caused by "tidal forces". The tides have slowed the moons' rotations down until their rotation periods equal their orbital periods. The moons also slow down the planets; our planet is rotating slower and slower. Once again, this affects the rotation. However, since angular momentum MUST be conserved, the Moon also gets farther and farther from our planet, thus affecting its revolution around Earth.
When were the major periods of immigration for African-Americans?
The major periods of immigration for African Americans to America occurred when they were transported here as slaves. These periods include the fifteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries.
If you want to enjoy longer periods of daylight in the summertime would you head closer to the equator or farther from it and why?
farther from it because the daytime is very short because it is concentrated in a small area. Near the equator the noonday sun is almost overhead every day so the ground is warmed strongly year-round.
What is true of the regions near Earths equator?
they recieve more solar energy than the poles do

Is it dark in Antarctica when its summer?
No. In fact there are extended periods of continuous daylight.
Which process of photosynthesis will be affected by shorter periods of daylight?
Calvin Cycle
Outer planets have smaller orbital periods than inner planets?
They are farther away and have larger orbital periods.
What are the days with the shortest and longest periods of daylight called?
winter and summer solstice.
Average daylight hours?
The average daylight hours vary depending on the season and location. In general, locations closer to the equator experience more consistent daylight throughout the year, with around 12 hours of daylight per day. In contrast, regions closer to the poles can have extreme variations in daylight hours, with periods of continuous daylight in the summer and continuous darkness in the winter.
How have cultures such as the lapps and the eskimo adapted to extended periods of daylight and darkness?
Because of the Maya Hay.
What causes the periods of daylight and darkness to vary at different latitudes throughout the year?
earths tilt
In the northern hemisphere why do periods of daylight get longer between late December and late June?
winter
How many hours of darkness in 1 year?
It depends on where you are Not Really, If you live on the Equator, Every 24 hour period has 12 hours of daylight, and twelve hours of darkness. For every one else, there are only two 24 hour periods during the year When daylight hours equal night hours. These two days are the Vernal and Autumnal Equinox. (Equinox means equal). If you account for the differences in the number of daylight and dark hours in a 24 hour period, over an entire year, the average is 4380 hours each for daylight and darkness.
