How does latitude affect daylight hours?
Latitude doesn't effect daylight, the sun effects daylight. Latitude affects daylight by varying the length of a day and the apparent altitude of the sun in the sky and therefore the angle of incidence of sunlight on a building.
The maximum and minimum apparent altitude of the sun at noon for a location at latitude L can be calculated as follows:
Max (June 21): 90 - L + 23.5
Min (Dec 21): 90 - L - 23.5
So, for a building in Boston at latitude approximately 42N, the maximum apparent solar altitude would be 71.5 degrees and the minimum would be 24.5 degrees.
For a building in Miami at latitude approximately 26N, the maximum apparent solar altitude would be 87.5 degrees and the minimum would be 40.5 degrees.
