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.

What is the relation between duration of day and season?

The duration of daylight changes with the seasons due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. In the summer, when the North Pole is tilted towards the sun, days are longer. In the winter, when the North Pole is tilted away from the sun, days are shorter. This results in longer days in summer and shorter days in winter.


If you're standing at the South Pole will your shadow be longer or shorter than where you live?

At the South Pole, your shadow will generally be much shorter than at locations closer to the equator, especially during the summer months when the sun is low in the sky. This is because the sun remains relatively close to the horizon, resulting in shorter shadows. Conversely, in areas closer to the equator, the sun is often more directly overhead, creating longer shadows at certain times of the day. So, if you’re at the South Pole, you’ll likely experience shorter shadows compared to your home.

When the north pole leaning toward the the sun are days longer or shorter?

When the North Pole is leaning toward the sun, the days are longer in the Northern Hemisphere due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. This tilt results in the Northern Hemisphere receiving more direct sunlight, leading to longer days as the North Pole experiences continuous daylight during this time, such as during the summer months.
