Why does the north or south pole have 24 hours of darkness or daylight?

they are either having the rays of the sun hitting the pole all day because of its tilt, it is always facing the sun. Or, because of the tilt, the pole is always facing away from the sun and its rays


How many hours of daylight are there in each month?

There is no answer to that, because it varies all around the world. So the amount of daylight on a given day in one part of the world, isn't the same in all other parts of the world. In the middle of the northern hemisphere's winter there is no daylight at the North Pole, but there is more and more as you head south ending in there being 24 hours of daylight at the South Pole, where it is the middle of summer. You can also say that there is always daylight somewhere in the world, and therefore there is permanent daylight on Earth, so there is 24 hours of daylight every day.


Is there ever 24 hours daylight at the two poles at the same time?

On the equinoxes the poles both have common day of 24 hors of sunlight as the sun circles the horizon. Until the next equinox one pole has shorter days while the other maintains its 24 hours of daylight while the sun rises higher in the sky intil it reaches its maximum elevation of 26 degrees on the summer of winter solstice (depending on the pole)


In the Northern Hemisphere on the June solstice the number of daylight hours?

Increases from 12 hours at the equator to 24 hours at the Artic Circle.


Where would you be standing if you got 24 hours of daylight everyday in summer?

Assuming you mean summer in the northern hemisphere, you would be at the North Pole, or anywhere within the Arctic Circle around the time of the summer solstice on 20/21 June. In the southern hemisphere, you would be at the South Pole or anywhere within the Antarctic Circle around 20/21 December.

When is solstice are the light and dark equal?

On a solstice, it is only at the equator that the hours of light and dark are equal. At other parts, they would be different with one of the Poles experiencing 24 hours of daylight and the other Pole experiencing no daylight. If it is the June solstice, then it is the North Pole with 24 hours of daylight and the South Pole with none, while it is the opposite in the December solstice. It is at the equinox that the amount of daylight and darkness hours are equal around the world.


How many hours of daylight does the summer solstice consist of?

That would depend on where in the world you are. If you were at the North Pole there would be 24 hours of daylight, while at the South Pole there would be no daylight. At points in between the two poles the amount of daylight would be different. At the equator the amount of daylight hours would be about 12 hours.

Approximately how many hours of daylight are received at the North Pole on June 21?

It depends on your location on Earth. At the south pole, there are 0 hours of daylight on June 21... until ~13,000 years from now when the Earth's axis of rotation will precess to give it summer in June.

Yes, on December 21 (summer solstice in the Southern Hemisphere), the South Pole experiences 24 hours of daylight where the Sun does not set. This phenomenon occurs due to the tilt of the Earth on its axis.


When the South Pole is tilted where the Sun it has ''24 hours of daylight''?

There is one sunrise at the South Pole each year, which occurs about September 21. From then until about March 21, there are 24 hours of daylight every day until the sunsets. This is caused by the Earth's tilt of the Southern Hemisphere toward the Sun.
