What country has the longer daylight?

Answer 1

No country has more light in winter. The only way that would be possible is if it was "winter" all over the world from December to March, instead of just the Northern Hemisphere, in which case the countries in the Southern Hemisphere would have more light in winter. But they don't; December to March in the Southern Hemisphere is summer.

Answer 2

In theory, each area of the world gets the same amount of sunlight per year. The northern climes get more in their summer and the southern gets more in their summer. The farther away from the equator you are, the more the deviation. The arctic and antarctic circles define a reasonable estimate where sunshine (or conversely lack of sunshine) exists at least once per calendar year. But, if you are in between two mountains, you can expect less than the average (12 hours) of sunlight per day, and if you are on top of a mountain you can expect more. A level area in Lapland will receive the same amount of sunshine per year as a level area in southern Italy. A main difference is the angle of the sunlight, Italy is warmer because it gets more direct sunlight than Lapland, even though they get a similar amount of total sunlight. Winter in the far north has very little daylight but they have more in the summer.

Answer 3

The most daylight hours is enjoyed by the states closest to the equator -- due to the tilt of the Earth in correlation to the sun. That would be: Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida. It also depends on the city or town: the daylight hours in a town on the south coast of Alabama are different than, say, a northern city in Texas.

Answer 4

Technically, the north and south poles. At both places, the sun remains above the horizon for six months at a time. (Of course, it also remains below the horizon the other six months.)

In the course of a year, every place on earth averages out the same ... the sun is up 50% of the time, and down 50% of the time. Light persists for a while after the sun goes down.

The smallest variation in the length of days and night occurs in the tropics ... within 23 degrees or less either side of the equator. In that band, the days are closest to the same length all year around.

Outside the tropics, the farther north or south you are, the wider are the variations in the length of day through the year.

But, as mentioned earlier, it all averages out to 50/50, everywhere on earth.

Answer 5

If the Earth's orbit was a perfect circle than everywhere on earth would average 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness, but the Earth's orbit is elliptical. As a result of this summers in the Northern Hemisphere are about a day longer than summers in the Southern Hemisphere. Because the farther north you are, the more daylight in the you get in the summer and because summers are slightly longer, you average slightly more than 12 hours of daylight. Countries like Norway, Sweden, Canada, Russia, the USA, etc. get the most daylight, and Chile and Argentina get the least.

Answer 6

Countries near the poles like Norway, Iceland, and Finland experience longer daylight hours in the summer due to the phenomenon of the midnight sun, where the sun remains visible or just below the horizon for 24 hours.

Answer 7

North and South poles get daylight for six months
