Sunrise at the South Pole is on about the 21st of September every year. Sunset is on about the 22nd of March the following year. The reverse is the case at the North Pole. So a polar day is about 6 months and a polar night is also about 6 months.

∙ 14y agoRight now: none. Because the earth is tilted on its axes, the north pole is blocked from receiving sunlight all day throughout the winter. In June, however, the North pole is always facing the sun, so the sun never sets, not even at midnight.

∙ 8y agoElectromagnetic waves hit both the north ans south poles. These are the same rays that hit the rest of the Earth. The difference is in the angle at which they hit. They are more oblique than at the equator, and so they get spread over a bigger area and so heating is less intense.

∙ 12y agodepends which side you're on.
the polar areas receive about 6 months of sunlight, if you don't stand on the exact spot the earth revolves around, in which case it would be about 6:00 in autumn all the time.. depressing. I don't know the answer to your erudite question, but i can tell you half a year of dark and half a year of light approximately.

∙ 8y agoYour answer depends on the season.
At the pole, there is one sunrise and one sunset per year. For the six months between sunrise and sunset, there is 24 hours of sun, daily.
