Does the north pole or south pole have daylight for 24 hours?

Answer 1

Technically I'd have to say yes, but at the poles the sun shines for around six months of the year and then dips over the horizon and disappears for six months. The reason for this is that the Earth spins on a tilted axis, and is not exactly aligned vertically.

Answer 2

At any place located less than 23.5 degrees from either pole ... either north of the

Arctic Circle or south of the Antarctic Circle ... there is, each year, one period of

more than 24 hours when the sun doesn't rise, and another period of more than

24 hours when the sun doesn't set.

The closer the place is to one of the poles, the longer each of these periods is, and

finally, exactly at the north pole or the south pole, the sun is up above the horizon

for 6 months, and down below the horizon for the other 6 months.

Answer 3

If you believe that six months is 'everlasting' then please know that the sun rises and sets once each year at the poles giving each six months of daylight and six months of no daylight.

This phenomenon is caused by the Earth's seasonal tilt away from the Sun.

Answer 4

The seasons at any point in the northern hemisphere, including the pole, are

exactly reversed compared to the seasons at the corresponding latitude in the

southern one.

Answer 5

The North Pole experiences 24 hours of daylight during summer months due to its tilt towards the sun, whereas the South Pole experiences 24 hours of daylight during its summer months.

Answer 6

yes
