No that's NOT true! What does "everywhere" mean? If "everywhere" includes
the the dial face of a north wall dial, then it's not true. If you mean the
"flat" saurfacew of the earth, then you are correct.
I hate to be pedantic, but (Well, actually, if the truth be told, I *love* to be pedantic.) this is not exactly true. Since fall and winter are together a few days longer than spring and summer (since the Earth is closest to the sun and moves fastest in its orbit in January), the North Pole, for example, gets less sunshine over the year than the South Pole.
