At the north pole, the longest day of the year is six months long. The sun is up
continuously, in the sky, above the horizon, and does not set for 6 months.
June 21 is the day right in the middle of that period.
It depends on your location on Earth. At the south pole, there are 0 hours of daylight on June 21... until ~13,000 years from now when the Earth's axis of rotation will precess to give it summer in June.
The sun is directly over the Tropic of Cancer, latitude 23.5 degrees north of the Equator. This has the most hours of daylight on June 22nd, which is the Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere.
The location that has the greatest number of daylight hours in a year is the North Pole. During the summer solstice, the North Pole experiences 24 hours of continuous daylight due to the tilt of the Earth's axis.
On June 21, the summer solstice, locations between 66.5 degrees North (the Arctic Circle) and 90 degrees North (the North Pole) experience 24 hours of daylight. This phenomenon occurs because the North Pole is tilted towards the Sun during this time, resulting in continuous sunlight for regions within the Arctic Circle. As you move closer to the Pole, the duration of daylight remains constant at 24 hours.
There's no Daylight Saving Time in Ecuador.

21st of June.
24 hours
There is no single answer to that. Different parts of the northern hemisphere will have different lengths of daylight on the 21st of June. The further north of the equator you go, the more hours of daylight there will be, with there being about 12 hours at the equator and 24 hours at the north pole. So you need to know exactly where in the northern hemisphere you are before the question can be answered.

Depends on the location. North of the Arctic Circle, December clocks in with "zero" hours of daylight, while on Antarctica, June is the darkest month.

The latitude that would experience 24 hours of daylight on June 21 is the Arctic Circle, which is located at approximately 66.5 degrees north. At this latitude, the phenomenon known as the Midnight Sun occurs, where the sun remains visible for a full 24 hours.
The northern hemisphere has more daylight hours on June 21st, which is the summer solstice and the longest day of the year. December 21st is the winter solstice and has the shortest daylight hours of the year.
That's the summer solstice, when areas north of the Arctic Circle will have 24 hours of daylight.
