The length of the day is not the reason but is a result of the season. The reason for seasons to take place is the inequality of distance between sun and earth with time. We all know that earth rotates around sun. But it won't rotate in a perfect circular path. The orbit of earth is an oval in shape. Hence, some times it will be closer to sun and some times farther. When it is closer, most of the area on earth is covered by sun. Hence, we have more day time (or length of the day) during summer. In a similar manner, as less area is covered by sun, the length of the day is less in winter.
An equinox is the time when the day and night are of equal length in a day. It is also the time that the Sun is directly overhead at Earth's equator at noon. A solstice is the time when the day and night are the most different in length of time than any other time of the year. It is also the time that the Sun is farthest from being directly above the Earth's equator at noon.
During the Autumn equinox the length of the day and night are nearly equal. The length of the day on the equinox is approximately twelve hours.
Every spot on planet earth has four seasons: summer, fall, winter and spring. This is also true in Antarctica. However, the southern hemisphere's seasons are exactly opposite of those in the northern hemisphere. The equinox dates are the same, worldwide, but they signal different seasons in different hemispheres: June 21, for example, starts summer in the north and starts winter in the south.
yes. All the way around the equator the day length doesn't change.

revolution and tilt
There would be no seasons, and the length of day & night would be exactly 12 hours each.
the different seasons and the length of day and night varies from place to place
The change in seasons is not a direct result of Earth's rotation. Seasons are caused by Earth's axial tilt and its orbit around the Sun. Earth's rotation affects the length of a day and the creation of day and night, but not the change in seasons.
There would be no seasons, and no change in the length of day and night, anywhere on Earth.

Weather is the term for changes in atmospheric temperature. Season is the term for the length of days.
seasons
The Earth's revolution around the Sun determines the length of the year and the changing seasons. The angle of tilt (23.5 degrees) causes different parts of the Earth to receive varying amounts of sunlight, leading to the seasonal changes.
There is no direct relationship between the rotation of a planet (which governs day length) and a planets distance from the sun. The nature of the planets spin is more to do with the formation of the system early on, by large impacts of the more numerous bodies that would have been around.
Seasons in Antarctica last the same amount of time as they do everywhere on earth. As well, seasons in the Southern Hemisphere are opposite those in the Northern Hemisphere. For example, June 21 is Mid-Winter's Day in Antarctica, and the first day of Summer in the Northern Hemisphere.
The length of each day would have to be faster by a factor of 365.25/360.
