Sunrise at the South Pole is on about the 21st of September every year. Sunset is on about the 22nd of March the following year. The reverse is the case at the North Pole. So a polar day is about 6 months and a polar night is also about 6 months.

Why are differences between sunrise and sunset not consistent for example NYC Chattanooga Fort Lauderdale (all UTC -5). Sunrise varies between 30 and 41 mins but sunset times vary between 61 an 0 min?

The variation in sunrise and sunset times is due to the tilt of the Earth's axis and its elliptical orbit around the sun. This causes differences in how the sun's position changes relative to a specific location at different times of the year, leading to varying lengths of daylight hours throughout the year. Factors such as latitude and geographical location also play a role in the inconsistencies in sunrise and sunset times between different locations.


How can it be sunrise and sunset at the same moment?

For two antipodal locations (on opposite sides of the Earth) it will be sunrise for one when it is sunset for the other.Also, on the winter solstice, areas very near the North Pole or South Pole may experience a "day" of only a few minutes length, with sunrise quickly becoming sunset and the Sun never leaving the horizon. At the Poles themselves, the period from sunrise to sunset, and sunset to sunrise, is 6 full months.

What is different about Antarctica's sunset and sunrise to the rest of the world?

Antarctica is a polar environment, and there are two polar environments on Earth. Both polar environments can be marked by their respective circles of latitude, about 66 degrees -- Antarctic (S) and Arctic (N) -- beyond which there is at least one 24-hour period of no sunrise/ sunset each year. This is because seasonally, the earth tilts toward and away from the sun. At the poles, this period is six months.
