The Autumnal and Vernal Equinoxes, occurring around March 21st and September 23rd, are the two days of a given year that day and night are equal in duration. This happens because contrary to popular belief, the sun does not rise and set directly overhead, or perpendicular to the horizon for most of the year. The path that the sun travels across the sky is not perfectly centered, except of course during the equinoxes. Because the sun is directly overhead at 12 o'clock noon during the equinox, if you were to travel to the equator, you would not cast a shadow.
No, the length of day and night varies throughout the year due to the tilt of the Earth's axis as it orbits the sun. This results in the changing seasons and varying lengths of daylight and darkness.
The time taken by Callisto to orbit the Sun is essentially the same as the length of Jupiter's year: 11.86 earth years.
No, Because a year on Saturn is 10,832 days while earth's is 365.25 days.
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.
If you added a quarter of a day to each year, over time this would cause day and night to shift out of sync with the natural cycle of the Earth's rotation. This could lead to significant disruptions in both the length and timing of day and night as we currently experience them.
That varies with the time of year. About now its about the same as night time.
The length of night on Earth is determined by the position of the Earth in relation to the sun as it rotates on its axis. The tilt of the Earth's axis and its orbit around the sun dictate the changing lengths of day and night throughout the year. Factors such as the time of year and location on Earth also influence the duration of night.

i believe that the seasons are not exactly of the same length. because a year has 365 days. 365 is not even and is not divisible by 4. therefore it can never be of same length. if they are of the same length somehow, the seasons must have shifted to some other time of year as years go by.

Oh, dude, in the desert, the length of night and day is like everywhere else on Earth, about 12 hours each. It's not like the sun decides to take a siesta just because it's hot outside. So, yeah, you get your standard half-and-half deal in the desert too.
they recieve more solar energy than the poles do
March 20/21 and Sep 22/23 of each year
The length of day and night depend upon the season of the year and the latitude of the desert. Over a year it averages 12 hours of day and 12 hours of night.
Depends on the time of year. Sometimes the Sun never goes down, sometimes the Sun never comes up, sometimes the length of day equals the length of night.
Every country on Earth experiences day and night due to the rotation of the planet on its axis. The length of day and night varies depending on the time of year and the location on Earth.
The length of day and night on Earth are not always equal. The amount of daylight and darkness varies depending on the time of year and the latitude of a location. This difference is more pronounced the closer you are to the poles and during the equinoxes.
