Conclusion:

On June 21 in the northern hemisphere it is the summer

solstice. During this time it has more daylight hours than in the
southern hemisphere, which is the winter solstice. This is because the
northern hemisphere is facing the sun on this date, so it gets more
sun than the southern hemisphere. On December 21, it is the winter
solstice in the northern hemisphere, and the summer solstice in the
southern hemisphere. On this date the southern hemisphere gets
more daylight than the northern hemisphere because the southern
hemisphere is facing the sun so it gets more light than the northern
hemisphere, which is not facing it. During March and September 21,
the hours of daylight are even. Every latitude has 12 hours of
sunlight, because both sides of the earth get the same amount of
sunlight, so they are even. I proved my hypothesis right, and what I
would do to make my hypothesis more precise is try out the lab on
different areas of the earth away, on, and to the equator during the
summer winter and equinoxes so I have a more data to prove my
hypothesis.
