Ignoring the effects of atmospheric refraction, the sun is above the horizon
from about September 21 until about March 21, as seen from the south pole.
speed of light is constant velocity and does not accelerate so there is no g force
A light year is a measure of distance. A light year is about 9,460,000,000,000 km, the distance light travels in a vacuum in one Earth year. It has nothing to do with weeks, months, days, etc. or any other of our calendar measurements of time.
We'll get consequences if the speed of light is not constant. GPS won't work, for just one off the top. GPS has clocks that are "tweaked" to account for the relative velocity of the satellites (which are called "birds") because they're moving around us. A consequence of c not being a constant might be that time is a constant. And GPS wouldn't work because the clocks of the birds are biased to account for their differential velocity. It's not much, but it's real and it's included in the system. And if c was not constant and time was, then the time base on which GPS functions would be "off" and the system would present gross inaccuracies with its readings. Which it doesn't, even with the clocks of the birds keeping different time than what we use here on earth. We always thought of time being a constant, and it took Einstein and his revelations to shake us out of that thinking. We now know that time is not constant, but light speed is. And that means that something else must be not constant. And it is time that is not constant. There is a bit more to this, but what is posted is a sufficient response to answer the question.
There are approximately 64 weeks in 16 months. Sixteen months is one year and 4 months.
It would take around 1 light year to walk a distance of 1 light year at a constant speed of 3 miles per hour without stopping. This is assuming continuous walking without breaks for sleep, food, or rest.
12. a year is constant for everything
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.
laser light has a constant wavelength whereas regular light is made up of many wavelengths
Depending on where you are south of the Antarctic Circle, the period of no sunrise/ sunset may be a day or so, up to six months at the South Pole.

The three ski areas in South Dakota are usually open from November to March, or about 5 months, however, the months you can ski in South Dakota depend greatly on the weather. If the weather cooperates, they may open in October and stay open into April.
The South Pole has about 6 months of continuous daylight from September to March, followed by about 6 months of continuous darkness from March to September. During the period of darkness, the South Pole has no direct sunlight for about 4 months.
None of Australia is north of the Arctic Circle or south of the Antarctic Circle.Therefor, the sun is above the horizon for part of every day in Australia, and below the horizonfor the rest of every day.
6 hours
6 months of daylight = 4380 hours
A light-year is a distance, not a year. 16 light-years is the distance light can travel in 16 years - 94,058,003,200,000 miles.
i would try to shut down as many as possible processes which are not necessary for the computer
