Answer 1

Roughly 11 3/4 hours right now I believe

Answer 2

I think you are asking a question related to changing the time each year...Every day has 24 hours. In the Summer, there are usually more daylight hours (hours when the sun is up) and this is always the same everywhere. In the Winter, it's the opposite, there are fewer hours of sunlight every day, and this number is the same for everyone at the same latitude (e.g., Chicago and Seattle are the same, more-or-less).

The problem is that the government makes the country change times (fall back, spring forward) so that when people wake up, go to work, get home, etc. does not match the "sun" time. There's a lot of dicussion about changing times and the problems it causes the economy (people going to work when it's dark, and getting home from work when it's dark, and so on).

If the problem you're working on is related to this business of changing times, then the three sources may help. If this is not your problem, then I'm sorry I didn't understand.

Answer 5

Well there are 24 hours in a day. Did you want to know how many hours of daylight in Michigan? I tried to find that but could not. Where I live it is printed in the paper each day how many hours of daylight we had. Try checking the paper at home or an online paper. Good luck.

Answer 6

The time of year will make a difference.

On the days of Vernal & Autumnal Equinox (the beginning of spring and fall), the earth and sun are aligned in such a way that everybody on earth gets 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness. The rest of the year, as we move around the sun, the amount of daylight will change depending on your location on the earth.

Between the first day of spring and the first day of summer, the time of daylight increases more than 12 hours, so on the first day of summer, you have the most sunlight you will have. Then it goes back down so on the first day of fall, it's back even again.

Between the first day of fall and the first day a winter, the daylight hours decrease until they are at their lowest on the first day of winter, then it works its way back up to 12 hours for the first day of spring.

That's the general principle.....

To find out exactly how much daylight.....look at the time for sunrise and sunset for that date in your location.

Go to www.weather.com and put in your location. On the weather forecast it will tell you the sunrise and sunset for today and the next day.

If you need to go back in time, go to http://www.sunrisesunset.com/usa/Michigan.asp
Enter your city and the month and it will tell you the sunrise/sunset for each day.

(Then just determine the time between sunrise and sunset and that will give you how many hours/minutes of daylight that day.)

Answer 7

Depends on the time of the year, and how far north you are.

Florida is close to 12 hours year-round; the farther north you go, the longer your summer days and shorter your winter days; only the equinoxes see equal length.

Answer 8

I can't tell you exactly, but look up the sunrise and sunset times. The interval in between is daylight.

Answer 9

There are 24 hours in a day and 365 days in a year. no matter where you live.

Answer 10

24.
