July has the longest hours of sunlight because in July it has the longest day

AnswerThe above is OK for someone in the northern hemisphere, but for the majority of those in the Southern Hemisphere, January is the month with most sunshine. In many tropical areas, the wet season means that cloud cover reduces the sunlight hours and so the most sun would be in the dry season. This may be the opposite of the other areas in the same hemisphere. An example is in Australia, where most of the southern parts of the country have highest sunlight in mid-summer or January, but the tropical city of Darwin in the north has it's sunniest month in July - even though still in the southern hemisphere.

The right answer is:

Dec 21st for the South Pole and southern Hemisphere and June 21st for the North Pole and Northern Hemisphere

How do you draw the Arctic Circle?

The Arctic Circle is an imaginary line on globes and charts at about 66.5°N latitude. Locations north of the Arctic Circle can experience at least one 24-hour period of "night" during the winter. At the North Pole, this becomes 6 months of daylight and 6 months of night. To "draw" the Arctic Circle, make a circle centered on the North Pole, about 2600 kilometers (1616 miles) in radius.
