Not all of it -- only a tiny region near the South Pole experiences 6 months of continuous daylight followed by nearly 6 months of continuous night. The North Pole has a similar division between day and night, each lasting one half of the year.
However, practically all of Antarctica experiences at least 24 hours of continuous day or night, and weeks or months of continuous day or night occur in various locations.
*Because of the width of the solar disc, and refraction by the atmosphere, there are about 2 or 3 more days of daylight per year than there are of night.
This phenomenon, known as polar day and polar night, occurs in polar regions near the North and South Poles. These regions experience 6 months of continuous daylight during the polar day and 6 months of constant darkness during the polar night.
Sweden is the country having six months day and six months night because it is located in the north pole. However I think that Antarctica is also having long days and long nights because it is in south pole.
Norway, Sweden, and Finland experience 6 months of continuous daylight known as the Midnight Sun in summer in the northern parts of the countries, while 6 months of continuous darkness occurs in winter, known as the Polar Night.
Well hello there, friend. What a delightful question we have here. In places near the Arctic and Antarctic Circles, such as northern Norway and Antarctica, you would experience constant sunlight in summer and continuous darkness in winter. Isn't nature beautiful with its unique gifts?
Only at or close to the South Pole will there be 6 months of daylight, and nearly 6 months of night. The Earth is tilted on its axis with respect to the plane of its orbit. The ends of that axis, the poles, must be either tipped toward the Sun, or tipped away from the Sun. As the Earth spins, the pole facing the Sun is always in sunlight, and the pole facing away has none. Only 1/2 of a planet can be illuminated at a time, and except on one day twice a year, the North Pole and South Pole are never both in daylight. At the equinoxes, the Sun may be visible from both poles. When Antarctica is tipped toward the Sun (approximately September 21 to March 20, summer in the Southern Hemisphere), the Sun is up continuously, circling the horizon. Beginning on March 21, the sun does not rise above the horizon until the following September.
Yes and no. Antarctica has 6 months of day and 6 months of night. It doesn't all happen every 12 hours. But in other countries yes.
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.
why the aera near fridgid zone has 6 months day and 6 months night
Yes, Antarctica stays dark for about 6 months all day long, then after that there is daylight for 6 months because of its angle toward the sun.
In Alaska there is 6 months day & night

Antarctica experiences six months of continuous daylight during the summer and six months of darkness during the winter due to its location near the South Pole.

because the earth is tilted towards the poles,so in summers the north pole will have continuous daylight for 6 months and south pole will have night for 6 months.Then in winters it will be reversed i.e. north pole will have night for the other 6 months and south pole will have continuous day light for 6 months. this proves that the poles experience day for 6 months and other 6 months they experience night.
