I've been comparing the difference in the duration of daylight hours
between where I live now,SE London,and where I was brought up in Central Scotland. The greatest difference,on mid-Winters day was 50 minutes.
Does it follow that the difference on Summer Solstice day will also be 50 minutes,the other way,of course,and if not,why not?
