Each part of the Earth receives approximately the same number of hours of daylight per year -- namely, half a year of full daylight. At the equator, this is delivered in bits and pieces, at the rate of exactly half a day, every single day, throughout the year. At the poles, it is delivered all at once -- half a year of daylight, and then half a year of darkness. And at mid latitudes, it is delivered in greater or lesser amounts, throughout the year -- some days having more than half a day of daylight, but others, half a year later, having less than half a day, and the average, throughout the year, being half a day of daylight per day.
per year you get approximatley 2,190 hours everywhere in the world. Equator's daylight is divided by half daily and the poles daylight are divided by half per year.
