The length of day and night changes more at the poles than at the equator throughout the year. At the poles, there are periods of continuous daylight in the summer and continuous darkness in the winter, leading to extreme variations in day length. In contrast, the equator experiences relatively consistent day lengths of about 12 hours throughout the year, with only slight variations.
At the equator, days are approximately equal in length throughout the year, remaining around 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness regardless of the season. This is due to the Earth's tilt and its circular path around the sun, which causes less variation in day length at the equator compared to higher latitudes. Therefore, there is no significant difference in day length during summer or winter at the equator.
Day and night are of equal length at the equator, which is an imaginary line that circles the Earth halfway between the North and South Poles. This phenomenon occurs during the equinoxes, which happen around March 20-21 and September 22-23 each year.
The length of Pluto's equator is approximately 4,493 miles (7,232 kilometers).
The length of the Earth's equator is 12,756,000 meters."The Solar System", Roman Smoluchowski, Scientific American Library, 1983, page 164
yes. All the way around the equator the day length doesn't change.
That would be the equator.

The equator.
They become shorter.
They become shorter.
The closer you are to the poles, the greater the change.
Around the equator there is no noticeable difference to the seasons, compared to what is experienced by parts of Earth that are much further from the equator. At the poles, can you detect a difference?
day becomes longer
That depends where you are on the planet. the length of day is shorter the further away from the equator you are.
The length of day & night are exactly 12 hours each. This never changes.
