Generally, and depending on where you are on the continent, you can experience sunshine during Spring, Summer and Fall. Closer to the Antarctic Circle, there is only one 24-hour period with no sunrise, and that day is during the Winter.
Note that the South Pole experiences one sunrise/ sunset per year.

What are the four seasons like in antarctica?
The Antarctic seasons are differently mostly because of the difference in sun rise and sun set times, depending on where on the continent you are. Because it's too cold to grow anything, there is no change in landscape. Antarctica is the coldest, highest, driest, windiest and darkest continent on earth. Seasons are typically only marked on a calendar: the extreme cold weather may fluctuate 50 degrees in temperature, the warmest being about 10 degrees above zero when the sun has been up for several months.
How many hours is the sun up per day in Antarctica's summer?
For most of the continent, the sun doesn't set for months during early spring and summer.
How are seasons in Antarctica different from seasons on other parts of Earth?
Seasons are not dramatically different, except that the amount of sunlight differs dramatically from summer to winter. Temperatures on the continent are consistently too cold to support life or any kind of food chain. Since no substantive vegetation grows there, there is no visible difference in the seasons.
How many seasons of psych are there up to 2012?

If earth's axis were straight up and down relative to the sun?
Then we wouldn't have any seasons.
What are astronomers doing in Antarctica at the moment?
Since it's the second day of summer in Antarctica, the sun is up until about February. When the sun sets and remains below the horizon for months, astronomers will study the southern hemisphere of stars in our gallaxy.
How many days without sunshine at Antarctica?
from my research it could go about half a year with out sun light also it could be around twenty four hours.
How many hours in a day in Antarctica?
In Antarctica, the length of a day depends on the season. During the austral summer (October to February), there can be up to 24 hours of daylight due to the midnight sun. Conversely, during the austral winter (March to September), there can be up to 24 hours of darkness due to the polar night.
What causes earth changing seasons?
earth's elliptical orbit around the sun causes the changes. (science fact: as earth gets closer to the sun, it goes faster.) look up on Google images of "earth's orbit and seasons"
Which countries make up the continent of Antarctica?
no countries make up Antarctica Antarctica just makes up Antarctica
Can you see the sun in antarctica?
Sunlight reaches Antarctica, when the northern hemisphere is in winter. In the Antarctic summer the sun does not set. Instead, it loops around the horizon.
Why does the sun only rise every six months in the Antarctica?
In Antarctica, the sun disappears below the horizon during the winter months due to the tilt of Earth's axis. This phenomenon, known as polar night, can last for up to six months in Antarctica. During this time, the sun does not rise above the horizon, leading to continuous darkness.
