What are the six months Antarctica has light?

Answer 1

If by 'lights' you mean sunlight, the phenomenon you describe only occurs at the south pole -- 90 degrees S. Those six months are generally between September 21 and March 21.

The periods of no sunrise/no sunset occur at both poles beyond their respective circles of latitude: 66°33′45.8″, which marks the location on earth where the period is at least one of 24 hours in length.

Otherwise, scientists and other temporary workers who live in Antarctica in support of science can turn the lights on most anytime they are needed.

Answer 2

This phenomenon occurs around the poles. At the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, the sun comes up about September 21 and sets about March 21.

Different locations on the Antarctic continent have different periods of no sunrise/ no sunset. At the Antarctic Circle, this period is at least one 24-hour period.

Answer 3

There is only one location on all of Antarctica -- the South Pole -- where there is one sunrise and one sunset per year. Generally, the sun rises about September 21 and sets about March 21 at pole -- 90 degrees S.

In other parts of Antarctica -- everywhere south of the Antarctic Circle, about 66 degrees S -- the periods of no sunset can be measured in days, weeks or months, depending on where you are on the continent.

Answer 4

Only South Pole experiences this extreme lack of sunrises; elsewhere on the continent, the period is as short as one 24-hour period.

At Pole, the sun sets on about March 21 and rises on about September 21.

Answer 5

Depending on where you are on the continent, the sun is above the horizon for up to six months without a sunset. At the South Pole, the sun rises about September 21 and sets about March 21. Farther north, the sun may rise earlier and set later.
