The earth rotates on an axis, which means it's in a different spot everyday, this is why we have day light savings time.

Can is it possible to have daylight over the whole world at the same time?

No, the sun can only caste sunlight (daylight) over the surface of the globe (earth) that is facing towards it at any one time.


Is it night time in ALL parts of the world in th SAME time?

No. Day and night is determined by what part of Earth is facing the sun. Half of the Earth faces toward the sun and half of earth faces away from the sun. As the Earth spins on it's axis, we get daylight in one side of the earth, and night time in the other side of the earth. It is never possible to have night time, or day time, on all the earth at the exact same time.


What is the length of day on the desert?

The length of a day in the desert is the same as anywhere else on Earth, approximately 24 hours. The desert may experience longer daylight hours due to its location closer to the equator, which can lead to longer periods of sunlight during certain times of the year.


What Contries have daylight at the same time as the UK?

Countries that have daylight at the same time as the UK include Portugal, Ireland, Iceland, and some parts of Western Europe. These countries are located in the same time zone as the UK, which means they experience daylight at similar times.


How long would a complete day and night be if earth did not spin on its axis?

If the Earth did not spin on its axis, a complete day and night cycle would be the same length as one full orbit around the sun, which is about 365.25 days. This means one side of the Earth would always face the sun and experience constant daylight, while the other side would face away and experience continuous night.

Can the whole Earth be lighted at the same time?

No, the whole Earth cannot be lit at the same time due to the natural rotation of the planet. This rotation causes different parts of the Earth to be in darkness while others are in daylight.

Is the average yearly daylight the same for anywhere on earth?

Do all places on earth have the same daytime?

No, all places on Earth do not have the same daytime. Due to the Earth's tilt and its rotation, different locations experience varying lengths of daylight throughout the year. This results in seasonal changes in daylight hours depending on a region's distance from the equator.


Why cant the whole part of earth experience day at the same time?

the earth rotates on an axis. When it rotates, half of it is exposed and half of it is not.


Why are the number of daylight hours and darkness not the same on earth?

It depends on your location, in some places they are


Why does the whole part of the earth cannot experience Day at the same time?

because the mirror on the moon is not big enough... Our solar system has only one sun, so there's no way it can be on both sides of the earth at the same time.


The lenght of daylight on the moon is about?

The length of daylight on the moon is about 14 Earth days, followed by 14 days of darkness. This is because the moon takes the same amount of time to rotate on its axis as it does to orbit the Earth.

Use a diagram to explain why you have night and day?

Rotation of the earth causes day and night. The earth rotates about its axis. when the earth rotates, places facing the sun experiences daylight while those on the other side of the earth that does not experience sunlight experiences darkness or night (NOTE: the earth is a sphere and therefore all places on the earth cannot receive sunlight at the same time). As I said before, the earth rotates and as such, after sometime, places that once experienced daylight experience darkness or night as it moves away from the sun when the sun rotates. likewise places that once experienced night experience day because of the same reason. For better comprehension, see diagram below SITUATION-A SITUATION-B


What are some common misconceptions regarding the seasons?

One common misconception is that the seasons are caused by the distance of the earth from the sun; when the sun is closer to earth we are hotter, and when the sun is farther away we are cooler.
