This can be illustrated quite neatly if you consider an extreme case. If you live at the North Pole, and the Sun is above the horizon, then (as Earth rotates) the Sun will CONTINUE being above the horizon. You'll have sunlight 24 hours. If you live at the South Pole, at the same date, the Sun will continuously be BELOW the horizon; and you'll have 0 hours of sunlight.
