If there are 24 consecutive hours of darkness then you would experience what season?
24 hours of darkness occur only above the Arctic and Antarctic circles during winter.
What you call a day on Earth is caused by?
A day on Earth is caused by the planet's rotation on its axis, which takes approximately 24 hours to complete. This rotation results in the cycle of daylight and darkness that we experience as the sun appears to rise and set each day.
When the Arctic Circle experiences 24 hours of darkness which hemisphere experiences summer?
When the Arctic Circle experiences 24 hours of darkness, the hemisphere that experiences summer is the Southern Hemisphere. This is because the tilt of the Earth's axis causes opposite seasons in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
How long is Earths day?
24 hours its not actually 23 hours 56minutes 4.1seconds
Why does day and night come?
Day and night happen because the Earth rotates on its axis. As the Earth spins, different parts of it face towards or away from the sun, creating periods of lightness and darkness. This rotation takes about 24 hours to complete, resulting in 24-hour cycles of day and night.
What causes the Arctic Circle and Antarctic Circle to have periods of 24 hours of light and 24 hours of darkness?
the tilt of the earth's axis

Why does the northern hemisphere get 24 hours of daylight and 24 hours of darkness in the winter?
The northern hemisphere experiences 24 hours of daylight and darkness due to the axial tilt of the Earth. During the winter solstice, the North Pole is tilted away from the Sun, resulting in continuous darkness in areas above the Arctic Circle. Conversely, during the summer solstice, the North Pole is tilted toward the Sun, leading to 24 hours of daylight. This phenomenon is a result of the Earth's rotation and its axial inclination relative to its orbit around the Sun.
How many hours of darkness are there in one day?
It depends on where you are and what season it is. If you are at the equator then there is 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of night. If you are above the arctic circle then during the winter there is 24 hours of darkness each day, this will occur on Dec. 21st. If you are further above the arctic circle the darkness can last for months. During the summer there will be 24 hours of daylight on June 21st, and again this can last for months if you are very far north. The same is true for the South pole as well.
Where is the least sun on Earth?
It depends. in the winter for the northern hemisphere ( North America ) the north pole has 24 hours of darkness or Greenland and in summer for Northern Hemisphere the south pole ( Antarctica ) has 24 hours of darkness so it really is north and south pole
Why does the Arctic have 24 hours of darkness and 24 hours of sunlight at different times of the year?
The arctic has 24 hours of darkness ans 24 hours of daylight at different parts of the year because of Earth's tilt on it axis. When it is summer, the arctic is in constant daylight because it is constantly receiving sunlight. The arctic region is facing towards the sun all summer. During winter, it is the complete opposite, it is in constant darkness because the arctic is facing away from the sun all winter
If you visited antarctica in December would you have 24 hours of darkness?
No, you'd have 24 hours of sunlight.
What part of earth has 24 hours of darkness in June?
All of the earth south of 60 degrees South Latitude has at least one day -- 24 hours -- of no sunrise: around June 21. Farther south, the number of days increases until you measure the period of no sunrises at the South Pole, and the duration is about six months, which is the longest period.
Why are there 24 hours of daylight everyday but in June there are 24 hours of darkness?
The question contradicts itself. If there are 24 hours of daylight evereyday then there cannot be any hours - not even one - of darkness. Not in June, nbut ever!The question contradicts itself.

Why do the poles get 24 hour day and night?
The poles experience 24 hours of daylight in summer and 24 hours of darkness in winter due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. During summer, the pole is tilted towards the Sun, causing the Sun to never fully set, while in winter, the pole is tilted away from the Sun, resulting in continuous darkness.
Why does county near in north pole does not see the sun in 24 hours?
Because of the tilt of the earth. The earth doesn't spin vertically straight - it spins at an angle of about 11 degrees. This means that, due to the tilt and the position of the earth as it orbits the sun, areas at the extreme north (and south) of the planet experience 24 hours of daylight in summer, and 24 hours of darkness in winter.
