∙ 11y agoFor half of the year (September to March) there is no sunlight, as the Sun
is always below the horizon. For the other half (March to September) there
is continuous sunlight, as the Sun appears to circle near the horizon.
So if you add it up over a whole year, you find that the north pole receives
sunlight for exactly 50% of the time ... just like every other spot on Earth.

∙ 13y agoIt depends on the time of year. There is daylight 24 hours a day from around March 23rd to September 23rd. Around this time the sun slowly sets, and then there is a period of six months of 24 hour nights until the sun rises again the following March.

∙ 8y agoEither pole experiences 6 months of night and 6 months of daylight = about 4380 hours of each.
(More precisely 4383 hours in each solar year of 365.25 days)

Where it could be dark for more then 24 hours?
The North Pole and South Pole (Antarctica) are two places on Earth where it can be dark for over 24 hours. During the respective winter-times of the North Pole and Antarctica, these areas can go with little to no sunlight for months at a time. Additionally, enclosed spaces such as caves may not receive any sunlight for extended periods of time.
What is the end of a magnet called?
A pole. They are called the north pole and south pole. The north pole of a magnet is defined as the pole that, when the magnet is freely suspended, points towards the Earth's North Magnetic Pole in the Arctic.
Where is it possible for a person to walk one kilometer south one kilometer east and one kilometer north and end up in the exact same place?
Either the north or south pole. It would have to be the north pole. You can't walk south from the south pole. Using cardinal directions as a guide you can walk south from the south pole. Using general directions it could only be the north pole.
Are the magnetic North Pole and the geographic North Pole always the same distance apart?
Actually no. Magnetic north shifts over time. It has to do with the rotation of the liquid iron inside the earth. I can't remember the exact number but I think you can estimate true north by adding 5 degrees to your compass.
Which color of a compass needle points north?
The US standard is to have the Red point North (look at the rim of the compass, is the 'N' also red or outlined in red?) You should verify this, however, because many things can mess up a compass. I have one that works fine, but White points north because my 4 year old played with a large magnet next to it reversing the polarity. If all else fails, wait for sunrise or sunset. If you look towards sunrise, North is to your Left and South is to your right.
How many hours of daylight does the north pole receive during a year?
4383 hours.
How many hours of daylight each day does the north pole have during the spring and summer months?
Twenty-four hours of daylight.
How many hrs of daylight is received at the north pole on June 21?
24 hours
Which pole is it sometimes daylight for 24 hours when it is winter in the northern hemisphere?
north pole
For how many months of the year does the north pole receive no insulation?
The north pole recieves 12 hours of daylight only on the two equinoxes, not for the entire months of march and september.
On June 21 why is there greater solar energy at the north pole than the equator?
Although the solar intensity at the North Pole is less than the Equator, there are many more hours of daylight.
If you were at the north pole and it was daylight for 24 hours what time of year would it be?
21st of June.
How many hours of daylight are there each day in North Pole in December?
Zero. At the north pole, the sun sets around September 23, and it doesn't rise again until March 21.
Approximately how many hours of daylight are received at the North Pole on June 21?
It depends on your location on Earth. At the south pole, there are 0 hours of daylight on June 21... until ~13,000 years from now when the Earth's axis of rotation will precess to give it summer in June.
Are the number of daylight hours each day greatest by the North Pole or the equator?
There is a very minimal amount of daylight in the North Pole. By the equator, there is much more sunlight and a much more warmer climate.
Which latitudes experience the greatest annual change in daylight hours?
90° north latitude (the north pole) and 90° south latitude (the south pole)
When is solstice are the light and dark equal?
On a solstice, it is only at the equator that the hours of light and dark are equal. At other parts, they would be different with one of the Poles experiencing 24 hours of daylight and the other Pole experiencing no daylight. If it is the June solstice, then it is the North Pole with 24 hours of daylight and the South Pole with none, while it is the opposite in the December solstice. It is at the equinox that the amount of daylight and darkness hours are equal around the world.
