At the time of the equinoxes (when the Sun is directly overhead at the equator) the Sun is up for 12 hours.
This answer does not tell the whole story. The sun is always directly overhead at the equator. There is always 12 hours of daylight at the equator no matter what season. To a purist the sun is actually above the horizon for about 12 and half hours but only because of the atmosphere bending light rays. If the Earth had no atmosphere it would be just plain 12 hours and 12 hours.
The part of the equator that crosses Kenya is 488 miles long.
How long is the equator?

They do vary. Shadows are long at dawn, short in the middle of the day and long, again, in the evenings. They also vary from season to season. The question seems to be based on a misunderstanding of what shadows are!
The equator is a mathematical line; it has no width.
It's warmer near the equator. There is more sunlight there.
The equator.
It's warmer near the equator. There is more sunlight there.
Day-neutral and long-day plants grow best in countries near the equator because they require consistent day lengths to thrive. Near the equator, day lengths remain relatively constant throughout the year, providing optimal conditions for these plants' growth and development. Additionally, in these regions, temperatures are generally warm, allowing for year-round growth cycles.

How long is the equator?
Pluto rotates at a relatively slow speed of about 47.1 km/hr (at the equator), making its day about 6.4 Earth days long.
No, the Equator is about 40,075 kilometres (24,901 mi) long.
yes. All the way around the equator the day length doesn't change.
The sun is vertically overhead at the equator in the months March 21st to September 23rd.All places on Earth, (except at the poles) receive 12 hours of daylight (day) and 12 hours of darkness (night). Days and nights which are 12 hours long are called equinoxes.Note: Day and Night are always 12 hours long at the Equator.
88889 hours I am uncertain but Singapore is about 1 degree north of the equator. It should be possible to reach in less than a day. btw: I have never sailed I am not sure the speed and all that
Day and night are equally long during the spring and autumn equinoxes. At these times, the Sun is directly above the equator, resulting in approximately 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness worldwide.
