PDE Q64
0. At the Equator, the duration of a day is
- Option : B
- Explanation :

-
Option A: 10 hrs
Incorrect. Such short daylight duration occurs in polar regions during certain seasons, not at the Equator. -
Option B: 12 hrs
Correct. Day and night are nearly equal at the Equator all year round. -
Option C: 14 hrs
Incorrect. This may occur in mid-latitudes during summer, not at the Equator. -
Option D: 16 hrs
Incorrect. Such long days happen in high latitudes during summer, not at the Equator.
