According to USA Today:
While Florida proclaims itself "the Sunshine State," it might be more appropriately named the "partly cloudy" state. Five other states, Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico and Texas, catch more rays than Florida, according to the National Weather Service.
It should be kept in mind that, despite the cloud cover that results from Florida's proximity to water, Florida's sunshine is very strong because the state is in the subtropics. Rays from the sun arrive at a steep angle, bringing a high degree of ultraviolet radiation. That could be a factor in Florida's high rate of skin cancer. It ranks in the top five nationally, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

September 21st is the Autumnal equinox, and everywhere on the planet (except the exact poles) has 12 hours of day and 12 hours of night.
That depends on where you were. In 2011 it was the day with least amount of daylight hours in the northern hemisphere and the day with the most amount of daylight hours in the southern hemisphere.
It depends on your latitude.
In spring, most days typically range from about 12 to 14 hours of daylight, depending on the geographic location and the specific date within the season. As spring progresses, days gradually become longer due to the tilt of the Earth's axis, leading to more daylight. The increase in daylight hours is particularly noticeable around the equinox in March, when day and night are roughly equal.
Most owls are diurnal, meaning they can hunt ( work ) during the night or day. After a wet or unproductive night you will probably see an owl hunting during the day. Some owls prefer hunting during daylight hours to night hours.
July-June has the longest day of the year,but it has only 30 days. So I would say July has the most hours of daylight.
That depends entirely on what time of year it is - as would be the case anywhere else on the planet.
Most everywhere on the continent, this number is 24 sunny hours out of 24 hours in a day.
No planet that we know of has only 2.7 hours of daylight - the rotational period of the fastest planet in our solar system is 9 hours 55 minutes (for Jupiter). The planet Uranus occupies an orbit at about 2.7 light hours distance (about 2 hours 40 minutes) from the Sun - but its distance does not affect how many hours of daylight it receives, since it is constantly illuminated regardless of its spin. An observer on Uranus would see a somewhat strange day, owing to its axial tilt - the planet orbits "on its side" - the observer might see the sun for half of its year at a time, in a spiral path around its daytime sky.
The day that has the shortest hours of daylight is known as the winter solstice. In 2013, the day that will have the shortest hours will be on Saturday, December 21, 2013.
September 21st is the Autumnal equinox, and everywhere on the planet (except the exact poles) has 12 hours of day and 12 hours of night.
Second day of the year that there is exactly 12 hours of daylight is in the month of June and the day 21st.. :)
It is a solstice. In the northern hemisphere it means there are most hours of daylight and is called the summer solstice.

A day on Mars is a bit longer than on Earth - 24 hours, 39 minutes, 35 seconds. So, just as the length of daylight on Earth depends on (a) the seasons, and (b) the latitude of the location in question, so a random place on Mars would have a varied range of possible length of daylight. If you know what part of the planet you need to know about then you can probably compare it easily with the earth - allowing for the angle the planet's rotation makes with the Sun.
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.
That depends on where you were. In 2011 it was the day with least amount of daylight hours in the northern hemisphere and the day with the most amount of daylight hours in the southern hemisphere.
