Your answer depends on the day. Everywhere south of the Antarctic Circle, a geography experiences at least one 24-hour period of no sunrise/ sunset. At the Circle, the day may be around the fall equinox or about March 21.

At the South Pole -- 90 degrees S -- the period is six months. or about 182.5 days.

Is there anyplace on the earth the sun will not rise today?

Antarctica


In Antarctica there are usually two weeks in midwinter Around June 21 when the sun does not rise and a couple of weeks in summer around Christmas when there is 24-hour sunlight Why?

It is because the Earth is tilted. As it orbits the sun there is a time that Antarctica is tipped away from the sun completely, so even when the Earth rotates the sun does not rise at all. The reverse happens at the other stage, with Antarctica being tipped towards the sun completely.It is because the Earth is tilted.

Does the sun only rise and set once a year in Antarctica?

If you are at the South Pole Station directly at the South Pole, then yes, the Sun will rise about September 21 and set about March 21, rising once and setting once during the year. For other locations in Antarctica, the Sun will rise and set each day for a period around the Equinoxes. For example, at McMurdo Sound, 77 degrees, 51 minutes south latitude, the Sun rises and sets each day between mid-February and mid-April, and again between mid-August and mid-October.

Your question is more about sunrise and sunset. Every day every where on earth lasts 24 hours. In June, the sun does not rise, and in December the sun does not set -- generally, during each 24-hour period.

The sun in Antarctica is the same sun that shines all over the earth. It's rise and set patterns, however, are polar, which makes those patterns different from the sunset/sunrise patterns that most humans are familiar with.


Why does the sun only rise every six months in the Antarctica?

In Antarctica, the sun disappears below the horizon during the winter months due to the tilt of Earth's axis. This phenomenon, known as polar night, can last for up to six months in Antarctica. During this time, the sun does not rise above the horizon, leading to continuous darkness.
