Due to the Earth’s tilt and position around the Sun, things get very light and warm in summer for us in UK, and then winter becomes very cold and dark. But if you are on the equator, surely the amount of light you get won’t change much?

I’m from Kenya east Africa,am located within the equator.We used to experience (until climate change happened) normal rainfalls from the months of April to late August and normal sunshine till early December,the remaining months was a fine balance of favourable temp as far as the town and region I’ve stayed in longer.
Seasons?
We don’t experience adverse season shifts like the polar regions away from the equator.Though we have towns in Kenya{ a place like Limuru town(The coldest town throughout the year) and a town like Nanyuki( Once in a calender yr experience ‘snow showers’ for lack of a better word). We also have 60-70% of semi arid Kenyan land majorly the northern parts and they receive less rainfall if not no rain at all(the latter is the normalcy unfortunately)}.
Prolonged daytime light, darkness and prolonged nights?
It happens at times but it’s not that easy to notice maybe difference by minutes never near an hr/hrs.
A fan of football here! Mid Oct to November,the EPL(Premier league) adjusts it’s kickoff time +1hr.I don’t know how they do that but seasons are interesting
