Everywhere south of the Antarctic Circle, the landscape experiences at least one 24-hour period of no sunrise/ sunset annually.
At the northernmost Antarctic Peninsula, there may be a number of days without a sunrise/ sunset; at the South Pole, the sun rises about September 21 and sets about March 21.

As with all countries, the times that the sun sets and rises varies, depending on the seasons. During the peak of summer the sun doersn't actually set at all, and in the middle of winter it doesn't even rise. This is the same as countries in Scandinavia in the NORTHERN hemisphere.
The person above stated that summer and winter is like this in the southern hemisphere - this is incorrect. This is only something that happens to the countries very close to the north AND south poles, and is exactly the same for countries close to the arctic pole in the NORTHERN hemisphere.
answ3. Even in the winter in Antarctica, it is not completely dark, for the Moon still comes around.

All locations south of 60 degrees South Latitude experience at least one day of no sunset/ sunrise per year. At the South Pole -- 90 degrees South Latitude -- the sun rises once and sets once per year. Each period lasts about six months.

∙ 8y agoBeyond about 66 degrees of latitude -- at both polar geographies, the landscape experiences at least one 24-hour period with no sunrise/ sunset per year.
At the poles -- 90 degrees -- this period is six months.
Depending on where you are on the continent, the period can be a few days, weeks, or months.

Where can you see the sun rise on the pacific ocean side and set on the Atlantic ocean side?
Antarctica.
How is the weather like in each season in antarctica?
In summer the sun never sets and in winter the sun never rise. the days are very long as the sun will never set completely nor rise completely. Hope this is a satisfactory answer.
What is unusual about the sun in antarctica?
The sun in Antarctica is the same sun that shines all over the earth. It's rise and set patterns, however, are polar, which makes those patterns different from the sunset/sunrise patterns that most humans are familiar with.
Is there anyplace on the earth the sun will not rise today?
Antarctica
What is the planet on which the sun does not rise and set?
All planets that rotate in our solar system will see apparent sun rise and sun set There are no planets that are stationary not to view the apparent sun rise and sun set.
Does the sun rise east or west of Antarctica?
Everywhere on earth, the sun rises in the east.
Does the sun only rise and set once a year in Antarctica?
If you are at the South Pole Station directly at the South Pole, then yes, the Sun will rise about September 21 and set about March 21, rising once and setting once during the year. For other locations in Antarctica, the Sun will rise and set each day for a period around the Equinoxes. For example, at McMurdo Sound, 77 degrees, 51 minutes south latitude, the Sun rises and sets each day between mid-February and mid-April, and again between mid-August and mid-October.
Where does the sun appear to rise then to set?
Rise in the East and set in the West.
In Antarctica there are usually two weeks in midwinter Around June 21 when the sun does not rise and a couple of weeks in summer around Christmas when there is 24-hour sunlight Why?
It is because the Earth is tilted. As it orbits the sun there is a time that Antarctica is tipped away from the sun completely, so even when the Earth rotates the sun does not rise at all. The reverse happens at the other stage, with Antarctica being tipped towards the sun completely.It is because the Earth is tilted.
