the north pole has constant day light when the northen hemisphere is facing the sun. This carrys on for six months, then the earth turns and and the northen hemisphere will be facing the oppersite way of the sun causing night time for six months

For how many months of the year does the north pole receive no insulation?
The north pole recieves 12 hours of daylight only on the two equinoxes, not for the entire months of march and september.
What is unique about the daylight hours at the North Pole on June 21?
At the north pole, the longest day of the year is six months long. The sun is up continuously, in the sky, above the horizon, and does not set for 6 months. June 21 is the day right in the middle of that period.
On June 21 where is the north pole?
Where it was on the other 364 days of the year. The North Pole does not move, you are thinking of the Magnetic North Pole.
What is the environment at the North Pole?
The North Pole is in the Artic Circle. It tends to be fairly cold year-round. Long winters with little sunlight exist, along with heavy snows and ice.
How does the south pole have 24 hours of dayligt?
The Earth is tilted with respect to the plane of its orbit, so that only on the equinox days (usually March 20 and September 23) do both poles experience a short period when both can have sun. The pole that is angled away from the Sun will have no daylight, while the one angled toward the Sun will have continual daylight -- although the Sun just circles the horizon and never goes very high into the sky. So from around September 23 to March 20, the South Pole has 6 months of daylight, 24 hours a day. The exact length is about 4383 hours.
If you were at the north pole and it was daylight for 24 hours what time of year would it be?
21st of June.
How many hours of daylight does the north pole receive during a year?
4383 hours.
For how many months of the year does the north pole receive no insulation?
The north pole recieves 12 hours of daylight only on the two equinoxes, not for the entire months of march and september.
Which area has daylight of around 12 hours every day all year round?
Locations near the equator, such as Quito in Ecuador or Nairobi in Kenya, generally experience around 12 hours of daylight every day throughout the year due to their proximity to the equator and consistent sunlight patterns.
What is unique about the daylight hours at the North Pole on June 21?
At the north pole, the longest day of the year is six months long. The sun is up continuously, in the sky, above the horizon, and does not set for 6 months. June 21 is the day right in the middle of that period.
How long and what is the daylight pattern for the South Pole?
There is one sunrise each year -- about September 21, and one sunset per year -- about March 31, at the South Pole.
Why do south and North Pole get daylight?
Because of the tilt of the Earth's axis of rotation with respect to the plane of the ecliptic, each pole points toward the sun during half of the year, and away from the sun during the other half. So they each get sunlight for half a year.
What is the duration of a day at the north pole?
A day is still 24 hours at the North Pole, because it turns just as the rest of the Earth. However, because of the Earth's tilt, the Sun at the North Pole is continuously "up" (above the horizon) for 6 months, then "down" (below the horizon) for the following 6 months. So each year consists of essentially one long day, daylight from late March to late September and night from September to March.
On June 21 where is the north pole?
Where it was on the other 364 days of the year. The North Pole does not move, you are thinking of the Magnetic North Pole.
Where is it dark half the year?
At the north pole and the south pole.
What is the environment at the North Pole?
The North Pole is in the Artic Circle. It tends to be fairly cold year-round. Long winters with little sunlight exist, along with heavy snows and ice.
Are the North Pole and the geographic North Pole always the same distance apart?
No. The magnetic pole wanders quite a bit - even towards the south rotational pole at times.
