Antarctica has just two seasons: summer and winter. Antarctica has six months of daylight in its summer and six months of darkness in its winter. The seasons are caused by the tilt of Earth's axis in relation to the sun. The direction of the tilt never changes. But as the Earth orbits the sun, different parts of the planet are exposed to direct sunlight. During summer, Antarctica is on the side of Earth tilted toward the sun and is in constant sunlight. In the winter, Antarctica is on the side of Earth tilted away from the sun, causing the continent to be dark. During the Southern Hemisphere summer (Dec 21 to March 22), the Antarctic continent south of the Antarctic Circle experiences at least one 24 hour period of daylight. At South Pole, there is no sunset for six months. During the Southern Hemisphere winter (June 21 to Sept 22), the Antarctic continent south of the Antarctic Circle experiences at least experiences one 24 hour period of darkness. At the South Pole, there is no sunrise for six months.
