This rather depends on the latitude of your desert. A desert is defined as a region where little precipitation occurs, and as a result, living conditions are hostile to plant and animal life.
The Antarctic meets these conditions, and at the Pole, there is zero sunlight for several months of the year. In the Sahara by way of contrast, the Sun is essentially overhead every day of the year, with little variation. Both places are deserts.
In very crude terms, about 1kw/m2 is the quantity of power from the Sun; and measured normal to the rays.
Desert biome is very dry, characterized by low precipitation levels and high temperatures.
Antarctica has a polar desert biome, ice biome, tundra biome, rocky biome, and coastal biome. These biomes support a variety of unique plant and animal species adapted to survive in extreme cold temperatures and harsh conditions.
The tundra biome receives varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year. In summer, it can experience up to 24 hours of continuous daylight, known as the midnight sun, due to its high latitude. In contrast, during the winter months, there can be prolonged periods of darkness with little to no sunlight.
Yes. Some tropical countries have only a wet season and a dry season.
The driest biome on earth is the desert biome. Deserts receive very little rainfall each year, leading to arid conditions and sparse vegetation. Some deserts, like the Atacama Desert in Chile, are so dry that they receive almost no rainfall at all.

There is a desert biome in central Australia.

Antarctica is considered a dry desert.. this means the biome is a desert! also 98% of Antarctica is covered with ice !

No, Oregon is not in the desert biome but a small area of the Great Basin Desert does enter the southeastern corner of the state. Much of the eastern half of Oregon does have semi-arid grasslands, however.
The Namib Desert is a cold desert or cool coastal desert, depending on the classification system.

There is no 'savanna desert.' The savanna is a distinct biome, a semiarid grassland, and not a desert.. It receives too much rainfall to be considered a desert.
