Around the Earth's poles there is a region called the Arctic or the Antarctic where there is a period of weeks or months during which the Sun never rises.

Near the poles the period is nearer six months.

How much sunlight does antarctic?
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.

How much sunlight does something south of the Antarctic Circle get?
Your answer depends on where you are south of the Antarctic Circle -- 66 degrees S to the South Pole: 90 degrees S. There are 1,656 miles or 2,664 km between those two points of latitude. As well, it depends on the time of year, because the sunlight length every day is different. At the South Pole, for example, there are six months of sunlight and six months without sunlight. At the Antarctic Circle, there is one day -- December 21, with no sunset, and one day -- June 21, with no sunrise.
