As you move away from the equator towards the poles, the latitude of a location increases. As the latitude increases, the hours of daylight experienced at a location will also increase. This is because the angle of the sun's rays become more direct as you move away from the equator, allowing for more daylight hours. For example, in the summer months, areas near the equator experience only a few hours of daylight, whereas areas near the poles experience almost 24 hours of daylight.
