South of the Antarctic Circle, the geography experiences at least one 24-hour period of no sunrise/ sunset annually.
At 90 degrees South -- the South Pole -- this period is six months long. During the other six months, the sun doesn't set.
Like every continent, Antarctica gets light from the sun, the moon and the stars.
The 'light of day' in Antarctica can come from the sun, the moon, and the southern hemisphere of stars that surround planet earth.
Yes, the light from the southern hemisphere of starts and Aurora Australis light up the night sky, whenever the sun sets.
There is no sun in Antarctica in June.
On December 25, all of Antarctica experiences 24 hours of sunlight.
In Antarctica or the Arctic, one or the other, when it's the summer and it's light all day.
During the polar winter, countries located near the North or South Poles, such as Norway's Svalbard islands or parts of Antarctica, experience periods of continuous darkness where the sun does not rise above the horizon for several months.
The Sun is as close to Antarctica as it is to anywhere else on Earth. That distance is 1 AU or 149,598,000 kilometers
yes it does but hardly
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.

Antarctica tilts toward the sun during the summer season, which begins on December 21.
Sources of brightness can be the sun, the moon and the southern hemisphere of stars. The brightness lasts 12 months out of every year. Under each of these light sources, Antarctica is 'bright' enough to navigate out of doors.
