Anyplace on earth that's farther north than the Arctic Circle, or farther south than the
Antarctic Circle, has at least one day a year when the sun doesn't rise, and at least
one day a year when the sun doesn't set. The closer you get to the poles, the longer
these annual periods of no sunrise and no sunset get.
Most of Alaska is south of the Arctic Circle, and has a sunrise and sunset every day of
the year. The Arctic Circle crosses Alaska on the line roughly through Shishmaref, Allakaket,
and Fort Yukon. North of that line is where you can have 24 hours without a sunrise
or 24 hours without a sunset.
It's same as other things, just few days longer, it's 3 months
Depends on where in Alaska you live? I used to live in Bethel and we never had any days that were totally dark. We avg. about 3 hrs a day of daylight.
Usually around December 21st in the Northern Hemisphere and June 21st in the Southern Hemisphere.
Only on the 2 equinox's which are March 21 and September 21.
12 hours
Equinoxes are when there are twelve hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness. The autumnal equinox is on September 21st on average, and the vernal equinox is on March 21st on average. You can tell that the seasons have changed and the equinoxes and solstices have occured because the amount of sunlight changes and temperatures also change. Solstices are when there is either the shortest or longest amount of daylight. The summer solstice is when there is the longest amount of daylight. After the summer solstice, days begin to slowly get shorter until the autumnal equinox. The winter solstice is when there is the shortest amount of daylight. After the winter solstice the days get longer until you reach the vernal equinox.

Burning Daylight The Adventures of 'Burning Daylight' in Alaska - 1914 was released on: USA: 14 September 1914
Depends on where you are in the state. It varies quite a bit, but if you look up the newspapers for the city you're interested in, usually they'll tell you how much daylight there is that day in the weather sections. Today, 7/3/08 in Anchorage for example, the sun rises at 4:31 AM and sets at 11:37 PM.
Technically, one. The other days may suspect to be full of daylight but truly, they are shorter.
There are 1407.5 hours of daylight on Mercury which is 56.646 earth days!!
Alaska
yes! they have sunlit days for half the year! =D

The northernmost part of Alaska is above the arctic circle and will experience several weeks of darkness with no sunrise. The rest of the state experiences days with short periods of daylight.
