It depends on where you are and what season it is. If you are at the equator then there is 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of night.

If you are further above the arctic circle the darkness can last for months. During the summer there will be 24 hours of daylight on June 21st, and again this can last for months if you are very far north. The same is true for the South pole as well.
How many times does the earth rotate every 24 hours?
The amount of daylight in a "24-hour" day actually varies due to a combination of the Earth's elliptical orbit around the sun and the tilt of the Earth's axis. The further north or south you are from the equator, the more variation you will see in the amount of sunlight you get in the winter and summer. For example, the year 2009 in Nome, Alaska (165 degrees West, 64 degrees North) there were 3 hours 53 minutes of daylight on December 21 and on and June 21, 21 hours 30 minutes of daylight; a difference of nearly 18 hours . Miami, Florida (80 degrees West, 25 degrees North) on those same days had 10 hours 32 minutes and 13 hours 43 minutes respectively; a difference of only about 3 hours.

Since the sun is illuminating 50% of the equator at all times, the time from sunrise to sunset all along the equator is 12 hours every day (actually, it's slightly more than 12 hours due to the refraction of sunlight as it passes at a shallow angle through the atmosphere making the sun visible while it is actually slightly below the horizon).
