What is the duration of a day at the North and South Poles?
What is the duration of a day at the North and South Poles?
- The Earth is tilted at an angle of 23.5 degrees from an imaginary line running around the Sun. This tilt causes our poles to lean towards or away from the Sun for long periods while our Earth rotates in its orbit:
- Continuous Daylight: For about six months, one pole faces the Sun, and there is continuous daylight, or, in other words, the Sun never goes below the horizon, and we refer to this phenomenon as Midnight Sun.
- Continuous Night: For the next six months, that same pole faces away from the Sun, and there is continuous night, or, in other words, the Sun never rises above the horizon, and we refer to this phenomenon as Polar Night.
- Cycles: While our North Pole has continuous day, our South Pole has continuous night, and vice versa.
