How many hours of darkness and daylight is there in Anchorage Alaska?

Answer 1

During summer, the sun is up 24 hours. During the winter, there's no sun at all.

The days and nights are each 12 hours at the spring and fall equinoxes.

The reason for this is because of that the earth is tilted.

Yes the sun does stay up for 24 hours in much of Alaska (anyplace north of the Arctic Circle) but the number of days without a sunset decreases as you move south. Barrow his more days then Nome and Nome has more days than Ft. Yukon.

Once you move south of the Arctic Circle (say Fairbanks) the sun does set, even on the longest day of the year. I lived in Alaska for 13 years.

Admittedly, is does not get "dark" for long periods of time but the sun has set. It is below the horizon.

The exact opposite is true in the winter.

Answer 2

In Anchorage, Alaska, the amount of daylight and darkness varies throughout the year due to its location. During the summer solstice in June, Anchorage experiences about 19 hours of daylight and only about 5 hours of darkness. Conversely, during the winter solstice in December, Anchorage experiences about 5 hours of daylight and around 19 hours of darkness.

Answer 3

Fairbanks, Alaska is outside the Arctic Circle and has some daylight every day of the year, the least being about 3 hours, 41 minutes on December 21 (winter solstice) and the most being 21 hours 50 minutes on June 21/ 22.
