Does Mercury have polar ice caps?
No, however there is some indirect evidence of Ice on the bottom of craters on its north pole. It was discovered via radar observations. Ice is one of the few materials that are very radar reflective when frozen, and it was discovered that Mercury has very reflective matter in its northern craters.
Does the moon rise and set every day?
Yes, unless you happen to be in the Polar Regions where there are days where the moon never rises/sets. The moon rises at a different time each day due to it's constant orbit around our planet.
How long is the day in winter and summer?
That varies a lot depending on the latitude, from 12 hour day throught Winter and Summer (at the equator), to the Sun being above the horizon all the time, i.e., 24-hour day (in summer, north of the northern polar circle or south of the southern polar circle), or all the time under the horizon, i.e. 0-hour day (in winter, north of the northern polar circle or south of the southern polar circle).That varies a lot depending on the latitude, from 12 hour day throught Winter and Summer (at the equator), to the Sun being above the horizon all the time, i.e., 24-hour day (in summer, north of the northern polar circle or south of the southern polar circle), or all the time under the horizon, i.e. 0-hour day (in winter, north of the northern polar circle or south of the southern polar circle).That varies a lot depending on the latitude, from 12 hour day throught Winter and Summer (at the equator), to the Sun being above the horizon all the time, i.e., 24-hour day (in summer, north of the northern polar circle or south of the southern polar circle), or all the time under the horizon, i.e. 0-hour day (in winter, north of the northern polar circle or south of the southern polar circle).That varies a lot depending on the latitude, from 12 hour day throught Winter and Summer (at the equator), to the Sun being above the horizon all the time, i.e., 24-hour day (in summer, north of the northern polar circle or south of the southern polar circle), or all the time under the horizon, i.e. 0-hour day (in winter, north of the northern polar circle or south of the southern polar circle).
What is the distance travelled by light in one day?
1 light day is a distance.
Which direction does the sun rise in Malaysia?
From any place on earth, on every clear day, when the sun rises, it rises from somewhere on the eastern half of the horizon, and when it sets, it sets into somewhere on the western half of the horizon. That goes also for places in the polar regions ... more poleward than the Arctic and Antarctic Circles. Those are the regions where once a year, there is no sunrise for at least 24 hours, and no sunset for at least 24 hours during the other half of the year. In those regions as well, when the sun does rise, it rises from the eastern horizon, and when it does set, it sets at the western horizon.
Which climate zone parts of the year is light all Day long?
Polar zone

Earth's rotation causes each part of Earth to have what each day?
The rotation of the Earth results in its day and night cycles. The exception to this is in the polar regions that have day and night for 6-months each due the Earth's tilt.
When do the polar regions receive darkness for 24 hours?
Only regions north of the Arctic Circle, or south of the Antarctic circle, will experience at least one day without sunlight during the year. The closer one gets to the pole, the more days will occur without sunrise, and conversely the same number without a sunset. At either of the poles, there is 6 months of daylight and 6 months of night. The equinoxes are the starting and ending of the polar day/night, so the farther away from the poles, the later in the season the day of no sunlight will occur, and the earlier the day of no night.
How do day and night at Uranus' equator change as Uranus revolves around the sun?
Only a narrow strip around the equator experiences a rapid day-night cycle, but with the Sun very low over the horizon as in the Earth's polar regions.
Does the moon rise and set every day?
Yes, unless you happen to be in the Polar Regions where there are days where the moon never rises/sets. The moon rises at a different time each day due to it's constant orbit around our planet.
Why Delhi does not experience midday sun?
Delhi does experience the mid day Sun. ALL part of earth experience the mid day Sun (although the polar regions do not for 6 months of the year and sometimes clouds shade the Sun on some days.
Which country has 6 month day and 6 month night and for what it is famous?
Norway experiences 6 months of daylight and 6 months of darkness in regions like Svalbard. This phenomenon is known as the Midnight Sun and Polar Night. Svalbard is famous for being one of the best places to witness the Northern Lights due to its unique light conditions.
Can a polar climate and a desert climate have the same weather on a particular day and why?
Yes, it happens every day. Antarctica is a desert with a polar climate.
What place on the earth would have times of no sun?
This depends upon the context of the question.All sub-polar regions on earth experience an absence of sun as the earth rotates and the regions moves from day to night.At the poles, the sun may not rise at all for months at a time in winter due to the Earth's tilt, while for other seasons it remains always above the horizon.also there is this thing called night, its a great time of darkness when most people sleep, but the people on the other side of the world it is light out, that's called day! that is when most people go to work and school.
