Sunrise at the South Pole is on about the 21st of September every year. Sunset is on about the 22nd of March the following year. The reverse is the case at the North Pole. So a polar day is about 6 months and a polar night is also about 6 months.

Why does the southern hemisphere receive the most sunshine on the 20st of December?

On December 21st, the southern hemisphere experiences the summer solstice, when the South Pole is tilted closest to the Sun. This tilt results in longer daylight hours and more direct sunlight, causing the southern hemisphere to receive the most sunshine. Conversely, the northern hemisphere experiences the winter solstice at this time, resulting in shorter days and less sunlight.
