At the Antarctic Circle, this geography experiences one day of no sunrise/ sunsets each year. South of this line of latitude, the number of days increases to the maximum of six months at the South Pole.

What is the first day of summer and of winter called?

The summer solstice happens. The summer solstice is also the winter solstice in the opposite hemisphere. On the summer solstice (on the northern hemisphere), the northern hemisphere is tilted most to the sun, giving 24 hours of light to the Arctic Circle and 24 hours of darkness to Antarctica on the day of it.


Which region of the globe will have light 24 hours a day when the northern hemisphere has its summer solstice?

True, if you're talking about the Northern hemisphere summer solstice, the one in June. In Australia and other places in the southern hemisphere, the "summer solstice" happens in December, and it's the ANTarctic that has the midnight sun. If you're right at the Arctic Circle - for example, in northern Iceland or places in Scandinavia - the day of the summer solstice is the ONLY day of 24-hour sun, and on that day the Sun will dip just to the horizon and then start rising again. Very strange, if you're tired and jet-lagged as I was the first time I was there....

That completely depends on where you're located. If you're anywhere north of the Arctic Circle, the answer is zero. If you're at the North Pole, then on December 21, you haven't seen the sun in the past three months, and you won't see it for another three.

Why doesn't it get dark in St Petersburg Russia during June and July - even though the sun actually sets?

It doesn't get dark in St Petersburg, Russia during June and July because of the city's location towards the North Pole. There is still light (called "twilight") after sunset, because of atmospheric effects. That's refraction and, most importantly, the scattering of sunlight by the upper atmosphere. In the summer, at high latitudes, the Sun is never far below the horizon.
