Yes the sun does shine in Antarctica because without sunlight there is not daylight.
What you will find is that there is almost continuous sunlight in the Summertime, with the sun setting as late as 11:30pm and rising as early as 3:30am, whilst Winter sees six months of almost continuous darkness. Around Christmas itself (the southern summer), sunlight is continuous for 24 hours for a couple of weeks, whilst in mid-June (the southern winter) for a couple of weeks, there is no sunlight at all.

∙ 12y agoYes, the sun does shine in Antarctica. During the summer months, which are from late November to early February, Antarctica experiences continuous daylight for up to 24 hours a day due to its position near the South Pole.

∙ 15y agoYes, like at the North Pole there are days were the sun never sets (mid-summer) and days when the sun never rises (mid-winter). Between those days the sun rises and sets. At the South Pole Sunrise and Sunset still occur - very slowly. There, the Sun always goes around the sky roughly parallel (at about the same altitude) to the horizon for extended periods, and Sunrise and Sunset take about 32 hours each!

∙ 14y agoTo be strictly accurate, the sun doesn't go anywhere. It appears to rise over the eastern horizon and set in the west because the earth is turning under it.
The only difference in the sun's apparent motion across Antarctica is that having risen in the east it then moves to the north before setting in the west.

∙ 14y agoThe Sun shines ALL the time; it has been for about 4.5 billion years. If the Sun is visible, then it is daytime. The Sun is never visible at night, because "night" is defined as the time when the Sun is below the horizon.
In the Arctic and in the Antarctic, the Sun is up for extended periods.
All of the Sun shines. Or at least the outside, if that's what you mean.
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.

On average, the distance between Antarctica and the Sun is about 93 million miles (150 million kilometers). This distance can vary slightly due to the elliptical shape of Earth's orbit around the Sun.
No. The sun can never be overhead at any latitude that's more than about 23.5 degrees north or south. (What's the matter ? Doesn't Houston get hot enough for you in August ???)
SUN A DOY for light
The sun shines on Antarctica the at the same strength that it shines all over the planet, however, there is a seasonal hole in the Ozone layer over this part of the Southern Hemisphere, which increases the sun's ability to burn, scar and deface everything.
The sun didn't shine on the castle because it was either in a shadowed area, obstructed by clouds, or due to the castle's location or orientation relative to the sun's path. It could also be due to the time of day or season when the sun's position didn't align with the castle.
Waitin' for the Sun to Shine was created in 1981.
The sun shines for about 10 billion years by converting hydrogen into helium through nuclear fusion in its core. It is currently about halfway through its main sequence stage.
yes
The sun shines bright because it undergoes nuclear fusion in its core, converting hydrogen into helium and releasing energy in the form of light and heat. This process is what provides the sun with its brightness and sustains life on Earth.
Planets shine because they reflect sunlight that falls on them. The amount of shine or brightness of a planet depends on its size, distance from the sun, and the composition of its atmosphere. Additionally, the reflective properties of the planet's surface also play a role in how brightly it shines.
Obelisks use the position of the sun's shadow to tell time. As the sun moves across the sky, the shadow cast by the obelisk moves in a predictable way. By observing the shadow's position at different times of the day, ancient civilizations could estimate the time.
All of the Sun shines. Or at least the outside, if that's what you mean.
The future tense of "shine" is "will shine." For example, "The sun will shine tomorrow."
