Along the equator every day of the year has 12.1 hours from sunrise to sunset and 11.9 hours from sunset to sunrise.
In 2012, the day when spring and fall had roughly equal hours of daylight and darkness was the equinox on September 22nd. On this day, the lengths of day and night are approximately equal all around the world.
Who could know? There are many mysterious things in this world. Or you could just work out how many days there are in the Winter Months (mainly considered November+December) work out how many hours are in there etc!
That would depend on where in the world you are. If you were at the North Pole there would be 24 hours of daylight, while at the South Pole there would be no daylight. At points in between the two poles the amount of daylight would be different. At the equator the amount of daylight hours would be about 12 hours.
In January, there are typically more hours of darkness than daylight in the Northern Hemisphere due to the winter season. Conversely, in the Southern Hemisphere, there are more hours of daylight than darkness during January as it is summer in that part of the world.
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.
Yes - at the summer and winter equinox
It depends on where you are in the world; the more North you are, the less daylight time there will be. At the North pole, there is no daylight at all, and at the South pole, there is no night at all. And at the equator it always stays 50% daytime and 50% night time.
There is no answer to that, because it varies all around the world. So the amount of daylight on a given day in one part of the world, isn't the same in all other parts of the world. In the middle of the northern hemisphere's winter there is no daylight at the North Pole, but there is more and more as you head south ending in there being 24 hours of daylight at the South Pole, where it is the middle of summer. You can also say that there is always daylight somewhere in the world, and therefore there is permanent daylight on Earth, so there is 24 hours of daylight every day.
It is always daylight in some parts of the world like the Arctic Circle during summer, where the phenomenon known as the midnight sun occurs. This is due to the tilt of Earth's axis and causes 24 hours of daylight.

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
The length of day and night on Earth varies depending on the time of year and the observer's location. At the equator, day and night are each about 12 hours long. As you move towards the poles, the length of daylight and darkness can change significantly, with areas near the poles experiencing periods of 24-hour daylight or darkness.
If your time is roughly between 6am and 6pm then your part of the world is in daylight. The part that is not having night. The earth revolves on its North Pole - South Pole axis once every 24 hours. As it moves around, the sun is able to shine on one half of it at a time. The earth is moving all the time, so the part of the world in daylight is also moving all the time/
