Depending on where on Earth you are, and what the date is, your night may be

longer or shorter than your day, by any number of minutes. Your day or your

night also may be more than 24 hours long, and can even be 6 months long.

It just depends on where you are, and the time of year.

Why is sound louder at night than during the day?

Sound can be louder at night than during the day due to a phenomenon called atmospheric ducting. This occurs when the air near the ground is cooler than the air above it, causing sound waves to bend and travel further distances, making them seem louder.


In which color scattering is maximum?

Scattering is maximum for shorter wavelengths, such as violet and blue light, due to their higher frequency and energy. This is why the sky appears blue during the day, as shorter blue wavelengths are scattered more than longer red wavelengths by the gases and particles in the atmosphere.

What is siedreal rotation?

Sidereal rotation refers to the rotation of a celestial body (such as a planet) relative to the fixed stars. On Earth, the sidereal rotation period is about 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4 seconds, which is slightly shorter than a solar day due to the Earth's orbit around the Sun. This rotation period is used in astronomy and space exploration to track the positions of objects in the sky.


What falls but doesn't break and breaks but never falls?

Night falls, as in the expression meaning "night is approaching", but it doesn't break, as "night" is an abstract noun. And day breaks, as in the expression "daybreak", meaning the time of day during which the sun first appears. However, "day", as well, is an abstract noun and cannot literally fall.
