From the viewpoint of a hypothetical observer at the North Pole, we would see the Sun rise very slowly about March 21, and slowly spiral up around the sky. By June 21, the Sun would appear to be about 23 degrees above the horizon, and would circle the sky every 24 hours. From June 21 on, the Sun would continue to circle the sky as it slowly set, reaching the horizon about September 21. (Refraction effects - the bending of light as it passes through the atmosphere - might cause the Sun to appear a day early and to set a day late.)

There would be a week or so of twilight, as the Sun crept further below the horizon, but by September 27 it would be dark and cold, and it would remain that way until mid-March.

There is no land at the North Pole; the Arctic Ocean extends several hundred miles in every direction. So there are no real observers _at_ the North Pole.

When is the north pole tilted towards the sun?

The North Pole is tilted towards the Sun during the summer months in the Northern Hemisphere, which typically occurs between June 20 and 21, known as the summer solstice. This is when the North Pole receives the most direct sunlight and experiences its longest day of the year.


When would your shadow be the shortest near the north pole and why?

Your shadow would be the shortest near the north pole during the summer solstice, around June 21st. This is because the sun is directly overhead, casting shadows that appear very short. At the north pole during this time, the sun never sets, leading to continuous daylight and minimal shadow length.

On June 21 why is there greater solar energy at the north pole than the equator?

On June 21, the North Pole experiences 24 hours of daylight due to the Earth's tilt towards the Sun. This means that the North Pole receives continuous sunlight and thus greater solar energy compared to the equator, which only receives sunlight during the day.

What season is it when the North Pole is tilted almost directly toward the sun on June 21?

In June, it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere of Earth. So I'd assume that the Northern Hemisphere is closer to the Sun at that time, and that would probably occur because the North Pole is tilted towards the Sun during June. In fact, the Summer Solstice is in the middle of June somewhere.
