Are the hours of daylight and darkness in September equal to March hours of daylight and darkness?
They're the same length on either side of the date of the equinox, which falls in March and September. In 2009 those dates were 3/20 and 9/22, respectively. Just count days on either side of those dates, to answer our question. What ends up happening, is that the first 20 days of March will have roughly the same length of daylight as the 20 days AFTER the September equinox (i.e. 9/22 thru 10/11). Similarly, the first twenty days of September will have the quality of daylight shown for the first 20 days after the spring equinox (3/20 thru 4/9)
Daylight and darkness conditions in various latitudes at the solstices and equinoxes?
At the equinoxes, day and night are roughly equal in length at all latitudes. During the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, there are long daylight hours and short darkness hours, while in the Southern Hemisphere it experiences the opposite. The winter solstice is reversed, with longer darkness hours in the Northern Hemisphere and longer daylight hours in the Southern Hemisphere.
What two countries have daylight at the same time as each other?
Countries located along the same longitude lines will have the same daylight hours. For example, Spain and Algeria have daylight at the same time as they are both located in the same timezone (UTC+1).
Does the South Pole daylight time last 24 hours?

It depends on where you are and what season it is. If you are at the equator then there is 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of night. If you are above the arctic circle then during the winter there is 24 hours of darkness each day, this will occur on Dec. 21st. If you are further above the arctic circle the darkness can last for months. During the summer there will be 24 hours of daylight on June 21st, and again this can last for months if you are very far north. The same is true for the South pole as well.
What day has same number of daylight hours and darkness hours?
