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.
During the winter months when there is no sunrise.
Yes. It occurs every year in Antarctica. Antarctica experiences months of continuous daylight, and then months of continuous night.
The Antarctic continent experiences days, weeks or months of no sunrises, depending on where you are on the continent.
Not all of it -- only a tiny region near the South Pole experiences 6 months of continuous daylight followed by nearly 6 months of continuous night. The North Pole has a similar division between day and night, each lasting one half of the year. However, practically all of Antarctica experiences at least 24 hours of continuous day or night, and weeks or months of continuous day or night occur in various locations. *Because of the width of the solar disc, and refraction by the atmosphere, there are about 2 or 3 more days of daylight per year than there are of night.
Yes and no. Antarctica has 6 months of day and 6 months of night. It doesn't all happen every 12 hours. But in other countries yes.
They usually chill at Antarctica's hottest night club "The Steel Monkey". The penguins usually stay huddled together though, the Elephant seals get kinda crazy after they have had a few too many. Considering, that the night there lasts 6 months, many of them should have much too many:) wateva
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.
November, December and January are usually the warmest months on Antarctica. The temperature, however, is rarely above freezing during those months.
Minus 71 degrees F in Antarctica can be measured in any of the 12 months on the calendar.

Antarctica is in the middle of the Southern Hemisphere. The Southern Winter is June, July and August. Summer is December, January and February.
In countries near the poles, such as Norway, Finland, Sweden, and Russia, there are regions where the sun does not set for up to six months during summer (midnight sun) and does not rise for up to six months during winter (polar night). This phenomenon is called the midnight sun and polar night.
