Some days the sun shines for 24 hours; some other days, there is zero sunlight.
This phenomenon occurs on earth everywhere beyond the 'circles' -- Antarctic and Arctic. The phenomenon is this: for at least one 24-hour period during the year, there is no sunrise/ sunset. At the poles, the period is six months long.

∙ 8y agoYour answer depends on the season and your location in these regions.
At the poles, you experience six months of 24-hour sun between about September and about February. At the circles, this period is one of 24 hours in length -- at the solstices. Anywhere in the approximately 1600 miles between these two lines of latitude, the length of sun varies between those two extremes, again depending on the season of the year.
