The sun sets at the South Pole about March 21 and does not rise again until about September 21.
This means that on 21 June, there is no sunrise -- or 24 hours of darkness on that date.
No, the South Pole experiences a period of complete darkness during its winter months, including on June 21st. This is due to its location within the Antarctic Circle, where the sun does not rise above the horizon for several months during the austral winter.
Zero hours of sunlight. The Winter Solstice on the 21st of June is the day that the sun is furthest away from the South Pole. 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.
On June 21st, which is the summer solstice in the Southern Hemisphere, the region around 80 degrees south latitude experiences continuous daylight. This is due to the tilt of the Earth's axis, allowing areas within the Antarctic Circle to receive 24 hours of sunlight during this time. Therefore, at 80 degrees south on June 21st, there are 24 hours of daylight.
During the Southern Hemisphere's winter (June to September), the South Pole will experience a period of continuous darkness, known as "polar night." This is when the sun remains below the horizon for an extended period, resulting in 24 hours of darkness at the South Pole.
It depends on your location on Earth. At the south pole, there are 0 hours of daylight on June 21... until ~13,000 years from now when the Earth's axis of rotation will precess to give it summer in June.
The Antarctic Circle
On June 21, which is the winter solstice for the Southern Hemisphere, the South Pole (90 degrees South) experiences polar night. This means that it receives 24 hours of darkness and no direct sunlight during this time. The sun remains below the horizon, and there is continuous twilight rather than full daylight.
Mid-winter's Day in most of Antarctica, June 21, is a day without a sunrise. This is also true at the South Pole.
Most of Antarctica is dark for 24 hours a day in June: there are no sunrises during that month. Particularly, at the South Pole, the sun rises on about the 21st of September every year. Sunset is on about the 22nd of March the following year.
The question contradicts itself. If there are 24 hours of daylight evereyday then there cannot be any hours - not even one - of darkness. Not in June, nbut ever!The question contradicts itself.

All of the earth south of 60 degrees South Latitude has at least one day -- 24 hours -- of no sunrise: around June 21. Farther south, the number of days increases until you measure the period of no sunrises at the South Pole, and the duration is about six months, which is the longest period.
I'm not positive, but I think it's the June Solstice.
