There are two days out of the whole year when day and night are just about the same length: 12 hours. These days are called equinoxes because the direct sunlight rays move toward the equator, making the sunlight about equal in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The Fall (autumnal) equinox for the Northern Hemisphere is September 21 or 22, and the Spring Equinox is March 20. In the Southern Hemisphere, the names are reversed for the two days.
Because of the apparent width of the solar disc, the days at the equinoxes are still slightly longer than the night. The parity of day and night occurs the day before the vernal equinox, and the day after the autumnal equinox.
i think because of the Earth's elliptical orbit, less sunlight reaches these places at the aphelion. =)
Days and nights would be twice as long, obviously. The slower rotation would have impacts on the weather, much of which is driven by the Earth spinning. Days would be warmer and nights cooler, for example, because each spot on the Earth would have twice as long in the sunshine to heat up, with twice as long at night for heat to radiate away.
The world alternates between the morning and the night because the Earth is constantly rotating around the sun. When this happens, the part where you are on Earth will eventually be pointing away from the sun. Thus creating morning and night alternations.
As most of the traditions narrate, according to the heavenly religions, the world (7 Skies and the earth) was created in 6 days and the 7th day was meant for rest. The rest day is Friday for the Muslims, Satureday for the Jews and Sunday for the Christians. Yet, the duration of the Day can't be established for certain. Many of the religious Figures are symbolic. Day may be equal to 1000 normal earth days, or may be equal t0 50,000 days each. Our Creator could have created everything within a twinkling of an eye, but he created it in 6 Days.
Days start to get shorter after between Aug/Sept and longer in march/April
because earth is rotating and revolving
There are some tiny variations because of the tilt of the earth, but we can say that days and nights are roughly equal at the equator.

On Equinoxes
Equinox occurs at the end of march and september. Days and nights are equal at that time.
Days and nights are equal at the equator, an imaginary line that divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. This phenomenon occurs during the equinoxes, which happen twice a year, around March 20-21 and September 22-23.
Days are longer than nights in the summer, and the reverse in the winter.
About 121 Earth days

Yes, during an equinox, days and nights are approximately equal in duration, with the length of day and night being close to 12 hours each. This phenomenon occurs twice a year, in the spring and fall equinoxes, when the tilt of the Earth's axis is perpendicular to the Sun's rays.
