If there are 24 consecutive hours of night then you must be somewhere above the Arctic Circle or below the Antarctic Circle in winter. Just as there is a "Midnight Sun" in these locations in summer, there is a midnight lack of Sun in winter. At the poles, this condition continues for much longer than 24 hours (nearly half the year), while at the Circles it occurs just one day per year. The fact that the Sun is not a point object, as well as other minor irregulaties in the orbit of the Earth, along with variations in the local horizon (except at sea), make the exact specifications of this event hard to pin down.

Why does earth have day and night every 24 hours?

Why is there night?
