Darkness is the absence of Light!....Same Speed?
If we are talking about 'How long it takes to go Dark', then it depends on the time of year (whether the Sun is below or above the Equator, and to what extent), you level of latitude on the Planet..... Because, it changes nearer to the poles because, firstly the Earth is not a perfect Sphere (it is flatter at the poles), and secondly (and very important to our weather, etc), the Earth is inclined at an angle (10 degrees at Poles?) which results in the Tropical Zones...
Conclusion: Faster the further North in Winter, slower in Summer!....... A friend says, blooody quick at the Equator, but never been there to see!

darkness has no speed because darkness is caused by human perception of the absence of light, that's like asking the speed of quiet.

Darkness itself does not move or expand. Darkness is only the absence of light. So the speed of darkness is only how fast light retreats.

Darkness has no speed as it is the absence of light.

Exactly the same as the speed of light.

Although darkness is merely the absence of light and as such cannot have a velocity we can measure the velocity of shadows such as those during solar eclipses or when the sun sets and a shadow crosses the equator at about 1000mph.

It is the reverse of the speed of light.
