Actually it isn't, day-time at the equator is shorted in both the summer and winter as the sun migrates up to the tropic of Capricorn and down to the tropic of Cancer. (It is of course the relative orientation of the Earth that varies but for purposes of this question lets just believe that its the sun that moves. It makes the explanation simpler.) Its just that the amount of time lost isn't all that 'important' as far as weather is concerned.

Where on earth of the day and nights eaqual?
Any place on earth that lie on the equator will have equal day and night time.
When is the equator dark?
The equator experiences approximately 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness throughout the year due to its position on the Earth's axis. This means the equator has days and nights of equal length.
Where on Earth are day and night of equal length throughout the year?
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.
At the days and nights are each 12 hours long?
For two days a year only does everywhere on the planet receive 12hrs sun 12 hrs dark. Around March 22 and September 22 are the two equinoxes [Sun is dead set above the Equator] Then and only then.
How much of the equator has daylight on June 21?
On June 21, the summer solstice, all points along the equator experience approximately 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. This is the only day of the year when the entire equator receives an equal amount of daylight.
Where on earth of the day and nights eaqual?
Any place on earth that lie on the equator will have equal day and night time.
Is days and nights is equal at equator?
There are some tiny variations because of the tilt of the earth, but we can say that days and nights are roughly equal at the equator.
Does any place on the equator have equal day and night on June solstice?
No, places on the equator do not have equal day and night on the June solstice. This phenomenon, known as the equinox, occurs when the tilt of the Earth's axis is perpendicular to the sun's rays, resulting in approximately equal day and night lengths.
When is the noon sun is directly overhead at the equator -occurs in spring and fall?
This is called the "equinox", or "equal nights" - when the night and day are approximately the same duration.
The length of the days and nights is equal at the?
At the Equator at the two Equinoxes, Spring and Fall.
Which geographic region has 12-hour days and a 12-hour nights every day of the year?
the equator
What is Equinox Latin for?
"Equal Nights". On the equinoxes, March 21 and September 21, the tilt of the Earth and its orbit combine to put the apparent position of the Sun directly over the equator. At that point, the day and the night periods are equal.
Why are daylight and nighttime of equal length at the equinox?
Yes they are equal because equinox means equal nights.
Why does equator receive equal day and night on 21 June?
June 21st is the summer solstice in the Northern hemisphere, and for the northern hemisphere it is the longest day of the year. In the Southern hemisphere June 21st is the winter solstice. This means it is the shortest day of the year. This happens due to the earth's 23 degree tilt. The equator, however, is right between the hemispheres. So the days and nights are of equal length.
How do the lengths of days and nights compare on komodo since it is fairly close to the equator?
On Komodo, which is located fairly close to the equator, the lengths of days and nights are approximately equal throughout the year. This is due to the tilt of the Earth's axis in relation to its orbit around the sun, resulting in consistent day length. As a result, Komodo experiences roughly 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness each day, with minimal variation in day length throughout the year.
Why are day's longer in the summer?
Ther sun spends more time in the northern hemisphere, thus longer days and shorter nights. This is reversed when the sun spends more time in the southern hemisphere. At the equinox days, the sun spends time at the equator and the days and nights are equal.
When is the equator dark?
The equator experiences approximately 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness throughout the year due to its position on the Earth's axis. This means the equator has days and nights of equal length.
