The sun sets at the South Pole about March 21 and does not rise again until about September 21.

This means that on 21 June, there is no sunrise -- or 24 hours of darkness on that date.

Does the South Pole receive the Longest period of daylight on June 21st?

No, the South Pole experiences a period of complete darkness during its winter months, including on June 21st. This is due to its location within the Antarctic Circle, where the sun does not rise above the horizon for several months during the austral winter.


How many hours of darkness does the south pole have on june21?

Zero hours of sunlight. The Winter Solstice on the 21st of June is the day that the sun is furthest away from the South Pole. 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.

Approximately how many hours of daylight are received at the North Pole on June 21?

When is solstice are the light and dark equal?

On a solstice, it is only at the equator that the hours of light and dark are equal. At other parts, they would be different with one of the Poles experiencing 24 hours of daylight and the other Pole experiencing no daylight. If it is the June solstice, then it is the North Pole with 24 hours of daylight and the South Pole with none, while it is the opposite in the December solstice. It is at the equinox that the amount of daylight and darkness hours are equal around the world.

How many hours of darkness are there in one day?

On average, there are 12 hours of darkness in a 24-hour day. This is because the Earth rotates on its axis, causing half of the planet to be in darkness while the other half is in daylight. The length of darkness can vary depending on the time of year and the location on Earth.
