In Alaska there is 6 months day & night
The frigid zones experience six months of daylight followed by six months of darkness due to the tilt of the Earth on its axis. This tilt causes the angle of sunlight to vary throughout the year, creating the phenomenon of polar day and polar night at high latitudes. During polar day, the sun never sets, while during polar night, the sun remains below the horizon for an extended period.
It does not. Only northern Norway is within the Arctic Circle and can experience more than 24 hours of continuous day or night. Only the North Pole and South Pole have 6 months of day and nearly 6 months of night. Svalbard, Norway (latitude 78.4° N) does have a greatly extended period of "midnight sun" during the summer. For 5 months from April to September, the sun circles the horizon and never sets. (see the related question)
You can get depression in the winter called Seasonal Affective Disorder as it is dark most of the day and sleep problems in the summer due to bright light for most of the day.
Antarctica experiences six months of continuous daylight during the summer and six months of darkness during the winter due to its location near the South Pole.
No city, but that happens at the north and south poles.
why the aera near fridgid zone has 6 months day and 6 months night
In Alaska there is 6 months day & night
This phenomenon, known as polar day and polar night, occurs in polar regions near the North and South Poles. These regions experience 6 months of continuous daylight during the polar day and 6 months of constant darkness during the polar night.
Alaska
because the earth is tilted towards the poles,so in summers the north pole will have continuous daylight for 6 months and south pole will have night for 6 months.Then in winters it will be reversed i.e. north pole will have night for the other 6 months and south pole will have continuous day light for 6 months. this proves that the poles experience day for 6 months and other 6 months they experience night.
No. This only occurs at the poles. Northern Norway (Svalbard) has 5 months of continuous daylight from mid-April to September and 5 months continuous night from late October to March.
Not all of it -- only a tiny region near the South Pole experiences 6 months of continuous daylight followed by nearly 6 months of continuous night. The North Pole has a similar division between day and night, each lasting one half of the year. However, practically all of Antarctica experiences at least 24 hours of continuous day or night, and weeks or months of continuous day or night occur in various locations. *Because of the width of the solar disc, and refraction by the atmosphere, there are about 2 or 3 more days of daylight per year than there are of night.
The frigid zones experience six months of daylight followed by six months of darkness due to the tilt of the Earth on its axis. This tilt causes the angle of sunlight to vary throughout the year, creating the phenomenon of polar day and polar night at high latitudes. During polar day, the sun never sets, while during polar night, the sun remains below the horizon for an extended period.
At the poles, such as the North and South Poles, there are regions where the sun remains above the horizon for about six months during summer, resulting in continuous daylight, followed by six months of darkness during winter. This phenomenon is known as polar day and polar night.
Yes and no. Antarctica has 6 months of day and 6 months of night. It doesn't all happen every 12 hours. But in other countries yes.
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.
