Regularly, all of the continent of Antarctica lies beyond the Antarctic Circle, which marks the latitude where there is at least one 24-hour period of no sunrise/ sunset annually. Depending on where you are on the continent, the period can be up to six months, which occurs at the South Pole.
Antarctica receives zero hours of daylight in the winter.
In Antarctica during October, which is springtime, daylight hours gradually increase as the continent transitions away from the long winter nights. By the end of October, locations like McMurdo Station can experience around 14 to 16 hours of daylight, with the sun remaining above the horizon for most of the day. However, specific daylight hours can vary depending on the exact location within Antarctica.

On December 25, all of Antarctica experiences 24 hours of sunlight.
All locations on Earth will experience 12 hours of daylight on the equinoxes. Area where it is spring or summer will experience more than 12 hours of daylight while places where it is fall or winter will experience fewer. The Equator always experiences 12 hours of daylight.
Most everywhere on the continent, this number is 24 sunny hours out of 24 hours in a day.
Yes, there are countries near the equator where daylight hours remain relatively consistent throughout the year, such as near the equator in Ecuador or Kenya. These regions do not experience significant variations in daylight hours like those at higher latitudes.
Near December 21, the two continents that experience the longest day are Antarctica and Australia. In Antarctica, the sun remains above the horizon for 24 hours during the summer solstice, resulting in continuous daylight. In parts of Australia, particularly in the northern regions, the days are also long, though not as extreme as in Antarctica. However, the phenomenon of extended daylight is most pronounced in Antarctica during this time.
