The duration of daylight hours depends on the latitudinal location of a place and the date or time of year (position of the earth with respect to the sun).
How does the duration of light change at a point throughout the year?
The length of the day or the number of daylight hours depends on the date and the latitudinal location of a place due to the sphericity of the Earth as well as its inclination with respect to the Sun.
This variation is more noticeable in the places closest to the poles, that is, at latitudes 90°N and 90°S. For example, in the latitudinal zone of 70°N, the variation of hours of the day would be as follows:
- Spring equinox 13.8 hours of light per day approximately.
- Summer solstice 24 hours of light per day.
- Autumn equinox 12.4 hours of light per day approximately.
- Winter solstice 0 hours of light per day.
This variation occurs because the Earth moves around the sun and at some times of the year, the high latitudinal areas are not exposed to the sun's rays.
