Where and in whic continent are there 6 months day and 6 months 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.


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).


How does day happen?

Day happens as a result of the Earth's rotation on its axis. As the Earth rotates, different parts of the planet are exposed to the Sun's light, creating daytime in those regions. This cycle of day and night occurs every 24 hours.

How many penguins can a polar bear eat in a day?

They live on opposite ends of the world, so there is no real answer. Polar bears don't eat penguins.


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.


What is a Polar Night and why does it happen?

The polar night occurs when the night lasts for more than 24 hours. This only occurs inside the polar circles. The opposite phenomenon, when the sun stays above the horizon for a long time is called the polar day, or midnight sun.


In what specific place in the world does not experience day and night?

The North and South Poles do not experience day and night for part of the year due to the phenomenon of the polar day and polar night resulting from the tilt of the Earth's axis. In these regions, the sun remains above the horizon for several months, resulting in continuous daylight in summer and continuous darkness in winter.


The temperature of a winter day at the north pole -40.0 c?

The temperature of a winter day at the North Pole is typically around -40.0°C as it is one of the coldest regions on Earth due to its high latitude and lack of sunlight during the winter months. Such extreme cold temperatures are common in polar regions.


How many penguins every day do polar bears eat?

Zero. Polar Bears and penguins live at opposite ends of the world. Polar Bears Arctic, Penguins Antarctic. Polar Bears eat seals. This is a common misconception that polar bears and penguins live together, but they live on opposite poles.


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.


Where 6 months day 6 months night?

At the poles, such as the North and South Poles, there are regions where the sun remains above the horizon for about six months during summer, resulting in continuous daylight, followed by six months of darkness during winter. This phenomenon is known as polar day and polar night.
