Where it could be dark for more then 24 hours?

The North Pole and South Pole (Antarctica) are two places on Earth where it can be dark for over 24 hours. During the respective winter-times of the North Pole and Antarctica, these areas can go with little to no sunlight for months at a time. Additionally, enclosed spaces such as caves may not receive any sunlight for extended periods of time.


What is the end of a magnet called?

A pole. They are called the north pole and south pole. The north pole of a magnet is defined as the pole that, when the magnet is freely suspended, points towards the Earth's North Magnetic Pole in the Arctic.


Where is it possible for a person to walk one kilometer south one kilometer east and one kilometer north and end up in the exact same place?

Either the north or south pole. It would have to be the north pole. You can't walk south from the south pole. Using cardinal directions as a guide you can walk south from the south pole. Using general directions it could only be the north pole.


Are the magnetic North Pole and the geographic North Pole always the same distance apart?

Actually no. Magnetic north shifts over time. It has to do with the rotation of the liquid iron inside the earth. I can't remember the exact number but I think you can estimate true north by adding 5 degrees to your compass.


Which color of a compass needle points north?

The US standard is to have the Red point North (look at the rim of the compass, is the 'N' also red or outlined in red?) You should verify this, however, because many things can mess up a compass. I have one that works fine, but White points north because my 4 year old played with a large magnet next to it reversing the polarity. If all else fails, wait for sunrise or sunset. If you look towards sunrise, North is to your Left and South is to your right.

There is a very minimal amount of daylight in the North Pole. By the equator, there is much more sunlight and a much more warmer climate.


On June 21 why is there greater solar energy at the north pole than the equator?

On June 21, the North Pole experiences 24 hours of daylight due to the Earth's tilt towards the Sun. This means that the North Pole receives continuous sunlight and thus greater solar energy compared to the equator, which only receives sunlight during the day.


When is solstice are the light and dark equal?

On a solstice, it is only at the equator that the hours of light and dark are equal. At other parts, they would be different with one of the Poles experiencing 24 hours of daylight and the other Pole experiencing no daylight. If it is the June solstice, then it is the North Pole with 24 hours of daylight and the South Pole with none, while it is the opposite in the December solstice. It is at the equinox that the amount of daylight and darkness hours are equal around the world.


How many hours of sunshine does the north pole get on the first day of summer?

24 Hours. On summer solstice the earth is tilted toward the sun and it shines continuously at the north pole.
