Yes, 3-4 hours of sunlight can be sufficient for a winter greenhouse, especially if it is designed to maximize light capture and retention. However, the effectiveness will depend on factors like the types of plants being grown, greenhouse orientation, insulation, and supplemental heating or lighting. Choosing cold-hardy plants and optimizing conditions can enhance growth even with limited sunlight. Regular monitoring of temperature and humidity is also essential to ensure a suitable environment for the plants.
vernal equinox
Don't count me on this, but in the summer the sun stays up VERY late, only about 4 hours of darkness up where i was. so I'm assuming it would be the opposite in the winter, so about 4 hours perhaps.
You have winter when earth is near the sun
Yes
Depends on where you are in Canada and what time of the year it is. You could get to places where there are 24 hours of daylight and six months later there is no daylight at all. So you can find it at any of the times in between at some point in Canada at different times of the year.

24 hours in summer, in winter no sun at all
winter solstice
For winter growing, a greenhouse should ideally face south to maximize sunlight exposure. This orientation allows for the most direct sunlight during the shorter winter days, helping to maintain warmer temperatures inside the greenhouse. In some regions, slight adjustments to southeast or southwest may also be beneficial, depending on local climate and sun angles. Additionally, ensuring that the greenhouse is well-insulated can further enhance its effectiveness during winter months.
Yes. The greenhouse gases trap the sun's heat.

A greenhouse, or a glasshouse in a garden keeps the air inside warmer. Gardeners use greenhouses to grow fruit etc in cold climates. It gives its name to the greenhouse effect because greenhouse gases retain the sun's heat and keep the earth warm.
Yes if the sun is shining or rises high enough in the winter sky. Not much use in parts of Scandinavia where the sun does rise at all during much of the winter.

Any greenhouse effect (including the one that takes place in an actual greenhouse) is a process by which the energy of sunlight is retained more than it otherwise would be. It's all about sunlight.
The duration of the sun cycle in Greenland varies throughout the year. In the summer, there can be 24 hours of daylight, known as the midnight sun. In the winter, there can be 24 hours of darkness, known as polar night.
