Technically I'd have to say yes, but at the poles the sun shines for around six months of the year and then dips over the horizon and disappears for six months. The reason for this is that the Earth spins on a tilted axis, and is not exactly aligned vertically.

∙ 11y agoAt any place located less than 23.5 degrees from either pole ... either north of the
Arctic Circle or south of the Antarctic Circle ... there is, each year, one period of
more than 24 hours when the sun doesn't rise, and another period of more than
24 hours when the sun doesn't set.
The closer the place is to one of the poles, the longer each of these periods is, and
finally, exactly at the north pole or the south pole, the sun is up above the horizon
for 6 months, and down below the horizon for the other 6 months.

∙ 8y agoIf you believe that six months is 'everlasting' then please know that the sun rises and sets once each year at the poles giving each six months of daylight and six months of no daylight.
This phenomenon is caused by the Earth's seasonal tilt away from the Sun.

exactly reversed compared to the seasons at the corresponding latitude in the
southern one.

Which latitudes experience the greatest annual change in daylight hours?
90° north latitude (the north pole) and 90° south latitude (the south pole)
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.
Does the South Pole daylight time last 24 hours?
Yes, for the six-month period between its sunrise about September 21 and its sunset about March 21 the daylight time lasts 24 hours at the South Pole. The same is true at the North Pole, and the events occur on the same days, in opposition.
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.
What is unique about the daylight hours at the South Pole on June 21?
There are 24 of them.
Which latitudes experience the greatest annual change in daylight hours?
90° north latitude (the north pole) and 90° south latitude (the south pole)
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.
Does the South Pole daylight time last 24 hours?
Yes, for the six-month period between its sunrise about September 21 and its sunset about March 21 the daylight time lasts 24 hours at the South Pole. The same is true at the North Pole, and the events occur on the same days, in opposition.
Which pole is it sometimes daylight for 24 hours when it is winter in the northern hemisphere?
north pole
Which area has daylight of around 12 hours every day all year round?
The answers is either The North Pole, Equator or The South Pole.
How many hours of daylight does the north pole receive during a year?
4383 hours.
What is unique about the daylight hours at the South Pole on June 21?
There are 24 of them.
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.
What place gets most daylight?
The north and south pole get the most daylight
How many hours of daylight each day does the north pole have during the spring and summer months?
Twenty-four hours of daylight.
What location has the greatest number of daylight hours?
On June 21, the arctic circle, which is located at 66.5 degrees north latitude, through the north pole at 90 degrees, has 24 hours of daylight. On December 21, the antarctic circle, which is located at 66.5 degrees south latitude, through the south pole at 90 degrees, has 24 hours of daylight.
How does the south pole have 24 hours of dayligt?
The Earth is tilted with respect to the plane of its orbit, so that only on the equinox days (usually March 20 and September 23) do both poles experience a short period when both can have sun. The pole that is angled away from the Sun will have no daylight, while the one angled toward the Sun will have continual daylight -- although the Sun just circles the horizon and never goes very high into the sky. So from around September 23 to March 20, the South Pole has 6 months of daylight, 24 hours a day. The exact length is about 4383 hours.
