Florida being closer to the equator would mean that they have slightly longer daylight hours in the summer based on the angle of the earth toward the sun. Michigan gets more daylight during the summer since it is farther from the equator and closer to the Arctic Circle, north of which there is no sunset on the day of the summer solstice. On June 21, Detroit has about 15Â¼ hours of sunlight while Miami has only about 13 3/4 hours of sunlight.
