Everywhere north of the Arctic Circle and south of the Antarctic Circle has at least one day per year without a sunset and at least one day per year without a sunrise. The closer you get to the poles the longer the periods of constant daylight and constant darkness. Directly at the geographic poles there is one sunrise per year and one sunset per year.
Regions near the equator where daylight hours remain relatively consistent throughout the year may find Daylight Saving Time unnecessary. Countries with minimal seasonal variation in daylight, such as those closer to the equator, have less need for adjusting the clocks to save daylight. Areas with a consistently steady pattern of daylight hours can operate efficiently without the time changes associated with Daylight Saving Time.
Clocks go one hour back during the transition from Daylight Saving Time to Standard Time in the fall to make better use of daylight during shorter winter days. This practice is intended to save energy and reduce electricity usage by aligning daylight hours with waking hours.
This is an old backpacker trick. This only works for adults though as children's hands are too small. Find the horizon, and now place your right hand palm facing you so the bottom edge(ie your pinky) is parallel with the horizon. Now place your left hand on top of your right, and keep doing this until one hand covers the sun. The number of hands required to do this is generally equal to the number of hours of remaining daylight.
Farmers do not specifically need daylight savings time. The practice was originally implemented to save energy by maximizing daylight hours during the longer days of summer. However, not all farmers find it beneficial as it can disrupt their routines and the natural rhythms of their work.
You would find more seasonal changes in the areas north or south of the tropics. The regions between the tropics tend to have relatively stable climates with less variation in temperature and weather patterns throughout the year. Areas further away from the equator experience more distinct seasons due to varying daylight hours and the angle of the sun.
The following is a hypothesis: "The number of eggs a chicken lays is affected by the hours of daylight." In this hypothesis, the independent variable is the hours of daylight.
Depends on where you are in Canada and what time of the year it is. You could get to places where there are 24 hours of daylight and six months later there is no daylight at all. So you can find it at any of the times in between at some point in Canada at different times of the year.
I am working on a College Trig project where we have to find daylight hours for certain cities around the world...I found a website where you click on the first letter of the city you're looking for, and then choices come up, you chose the city you want and a table of daylight hours, temperatures, etc. comes up on a chart. the website is www.bbc.co.uk/weather/world/city_guides
Sunrise and sunset is further apart during the longer daylight hours of summer.

How I would design the experiment would begin with gaining a basic understanding of current theory on the mechanism that causes the change.Then, I would find information on the naturally occurring ranges of deciduous trees and find appropriate observation environments for the test, based on my findings.
Complex question. Use this link to go find out, it varies on what month and day it is, the change in the tilt of the earth causes the seasons. http://www.jgiesen.de/daylight/
Travel and eat. They may find a place to sleep for a little bit before travelling and eating again.
