RIP everyone who doesn't live exactly on the ecliptic.
The amount of time which the sun shines has very little to do with half of 24 hours most of the year where I live.
Half was a rhetorical estimate to attempt to communicate a basic idea, not an attempt to use an accurate academic term. Look it up if you want to know more, quit arguing with me. What I am describing is not new or cutting edge. We have oodles of data you can look at.
