It has to do with the tilt of the earth with respect to it's orbit plane. In the months of April to September the northern half of the globe faces the sun and the southern half is dark. During the rest of the year it's reversed.

How many hours of daylight does the summer solstice consist of?
That would depend on where in the world you are. If you were at the North Pole there would be 24 hours of daylight, while at the South Pole there would be no daylight. At points in between the two poles the amount of daylight would be different. At the equator the amount of daylight hours would be about 12 hours.
How many days of sunshine in Fl?
Depends on where in the US, and what part of summer. The farther north you go, the more daylight hours (during summer and spring only - the opposite is true in fall and winter). Also, the number of daylight hours is at a maximum at the summer solstice, which is the beginning of summer, and declines throughout the summer and fall. Alaska is part of the US, and the northern part of Alaska is within the Arctic Circle. For some period of time around the beginning of summer, this part of Alaska has 24 hours of sunlight every day. On the other hand, Hawaii is also part of the US, but is so close to the equator that the maximum number of daylight hours is only slightly more than the yearly average of 12. You're going to have to be more specific, as far as date and location, if you want an answer to this question.

Why dont equatorial countries observe daylight saving time?
Being closer to the equator means a smaller difference in length of days between summer and winter. In places farther from the equator winter means shorter days. Daylight savings pushes the sunrise to a time where people must be up to work. In tropical climates the day doesn't get shorter, so noone needs to save its light!
