There are 12 or more hours of daylight south of the equator between the September and March equinoxes (around September 23 to March 20). Between the equator and the Tropic of Capricorn (about 23.5 S) there are about 12 hours, as is the case throughout the tropics. As you go farther south, the length of the day increases until it is 24 hours at the South Pole (the sun circles the horizon and does not set until the vernal equinox).

Is it daylight 24 hours at the South Pole on December 21?
Yes, on December 21 (summer solstice in the Southern Hemisphere), the South Pole experiences 24 hours of daylight where the Sun does not set. This phenomenon occurs due to the tilt of the Earth on its axis.
When is solstice are the light and dark equal?
On a solstice, it is only at the equator that the hours of light and dark are equal. At other parts, they would be different with one of the Poles experiencing 24 hours of daylight and the other Pole experiencing no daylight. If it is the June solstice, then it is the North Pole with 24 hours of daylight and the South Pole with none, while it is the opposite in the December solstice. It is at the equinox that the amount of daylight and darkness hours are equal around the world.
What location has the greatest number of daylight hours?
The location that has the greatest number of daylight hours in a year is the North Pole. During the summer solstice, the North Pole experiences 24 hours of continuous daylight due to the tilt of the Earth's axis.
Does the South Pole daylight time last 24 hours?
Yes, for the six-month period between its sunrise about September 21 and its sunset about March 21 the daylight time lasts 24 hours at the South Pole. The same is true at the North Pole, and the events occur on the same days, in opposition.
Approximately how many hours of daylight are received at the North Pole on June 21?
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.
How many hours of light in the south pole in December?
At the south pole, December is the middle of a continuous period of light that began on September 21 and lasts until March 21. Since December has 31 days, there are 744 hours of daylight there in December.
Is it daylight 24 hours at the South Pole on December 21?
Yes, on December 21 (summer solstice in the Southern Hemisphere), the South Pole experiences 24 hours of daylight where the Sun does not set. This phenomenon occurs due to the tilt of the Earth on its axis.
Where on earth is daylight constant on December 22?

When does Antarctica get 12 hours of daylight?
Twelve hours of daylight on the Antarctic continent would be a phenomenon experienced in a narrow, circular band of geography between the Antarctic Circle and the South Pole. This phenomenon would occur midway between December 21 and June 21, and again between June 21 and December 21.
Within which range of latitudes in the Southern Hemisphere is twenty-four hours of daylight experienced?
Between roughly 66.5 degrees south and the south pole (90 degrees south latitude), there is a single period of 24 hours or more without a sunset, once a year. At 66.5 degrees south, the period is exactly 24 hours long, on December 21. At the south pole, the period is 6 months long, from September 21 to March 21.
When the South Pole is tilted where the Sun it has ''24 hours of daylight''?
There is one sunrise at the South Pole each year, which occurs about September 21. From then until about March 21, there are 24 hours of daylight every day until the sunsets. This is caused by the Earth's tilt of the Southern Hemisphere toward the Sun.

The winter solstice has the fewest daylight hours in the northern hemisphere. It is the shortest day of the year, occurring around December 21st, when the North Pole is tilted furthest away from the sun.
Which latitudes experience the greatest annual change in daylight hours?
Latitudes near the poles experience the greatest annual change in daylight hours because they have polar day and polar night during the solstices. This means that they have periods of continuous daylight in summer and continuous darkness in winter.
