It symbolizes that the geographic latitude where the distance from the equator influences how long days and nights are. The equator is a hypothetical straight line which traverses the Earth in the middle. On the equator, the latitude tends to be 0 degrees. As you move from the tropics nearer to the poles, the latitude increases which can be up to 90 degrees.

Additionally, when we go from the equator to any direction, the difference within the duration of the day and evening at separate times of the year will be higher.

On the equator, each day and night last for specifically 12 hours at any point of the time in the year. On the North and South Pole, the Sun begins and sets only once a year, so we have 6 months of light and 6 months of darkness.
