Answer:

Additionally, the Equator sees the shortest sunrise or sunset because the Sun's path across the sky is so nearly perpendicular to the horizon.

Answer:

Neither of the poles are tilted towards the sun. Hence, the sun rays fall directly on the equator due to which all the places on the Earth experience equal daylight hours and equal night time hours that is, 12 hours of day and 12 hours of night on all the places of the Earth.
