Is the south pole in darkness in the summer?
Britain is in the northern hemisphere, the South Pole is at the dead centre of the southern hemisphere. If Britain is in the middle of its summer, the South Pole will be in the middle of its winter, therefore, the South Pole will be in darkness.
Which latitudes experience the greatest annual change in daylight hours?
Latitudes near the poles experience the greatest annual change in daylight hours because they have polar day and polar night during the solstices. This means that they have periods of continuous daylight in summer and continuous darkness in winter.
When is solstice are the light and dark equal?
On a solstice, it is only at the equator that the hours of light and dark are equal. At other parts, they would be different with one of the Poles experiencing 24 hours of daylight and the other Pole experiencing no daylight. If it is the June solstice, then it is the North Pole with 24 hours of daylight and the South Pole with none, while it is the opposite in the December solstice. It is at the equinox that the amount of daylight and darkness hours are equal around the world.
What is the sunrise time with a latitude of -89 degrees?

Approximately how many hours of daylight are received at the North Pole on June 21?
It depends on your location on Earth. At the south pole, there are 0 hours of daylight on June 21... until ~13,000 years from now when the Earth's axis of rotation will precess to give it summer in June.
Which planet experiences constant daylight or darkness for 42 years at its poles?
The planet experiencing constant daylight or darkness for 42 years at its poles is Uranus. This phenomenon is due to the unique tilt of Uranus's axis, which causes one pole to face the Sun continuously for half of its 84-year orbit, while the other pole is in constant darkness.
Why is the southpole the sunniest place on earth?
The South Pole is known for having continuous sunlight during its summer months due to its location within the Antarctic Circle. From late September to late March, the sun does not set, resulting in constant daylight. Conversely, during the winter months, the South Pole experiences continuous darkness.
What happens at the North and South Pole during both of the equinoxes?
Due to the continual tilt of the earth toward Polaris sometimes the North Pole faces the sun and sometimes it is hidden behind the rest of the earth. When the North Pole is in darkness, the South Pole is in light, and vice versa.
The Six months of darkness at the South Pole ends when?
June 21
