Not true. At the equator every day of the year is about 12 hours of light. The further away from the equator you get, the days get progressively longer/shorter as you approach summer/winter respectively. The days are longer in New England than Florida in the spring/summer and shorter in the fall/winter. The earth’s axil tilt of about 23.5 degrees causes this seasonal change.
