What are daylight hours?

Daylight hours refers to the period of the day when the sun is above the horizon, providing natural light. The specific duration of daylight hours varies throughout the year depending on the location on Earth and the time of year due to Earth's axial tilt and orbit around the sun.

At the equator, the length of daylight hours remains relatively constant throughout the year, while in higher latitudes, it can vary significantly. During the summer months, days are longer and daylight hours can often span over 15 hours, whereas in the winter months, days are shorter, and daylight hours may span less than 9 hours.
