What parts of earth receive up to 24 hours of sunlight a day?
North of the arctic circle, or south of the antarctic circle, but only at certain times of the year.
Where on earth do they have 24 hour days and 24 hour nights?
There are areas on Earth that can receive 24 hours of day and 24 hours of night - but not at the same time. North of 66 1/2 degrees latitude N. (the Arctic Circle) will receive 24 hours of sunlight during the middle of the summer. During the middle of winter this same area will receive no sunlight. During these 2 seasons it is just the opposite south of 66 1/2 degrees S. latitude (Antarctic Circle). This is all due to the tilt of the earth's axis and if it is tilted towards or away from the sun.
Where is 75 degree south and 75 degree east?
Antarctica, near the Davis Station.
What is different about the areas above the Arctic Circle?
Above the Arctic Circle, locations will experience at least one 24-hour period of sunlight per year as well as at least one 24-hour period with no sunrise at all. The tilt of the Earth means that when the noon Sun is directly overhead a point above the equator, the North Pole receives 24 hours of sunlight. When the noon Sun is directly overhead a point south of the equator, the North Pole gets no sunlight at all. The closer a point is to the North Pole, the more days it has per year with either 24 hours of sunlight or 24 hours of night. At the North Pole, there is a 6-month period of constant daylight and a 6-month period with no daylight. (However, it can get somewhat bright during daytime hours in early spring and late fall when the Sun is just slightly below the horizon.)

What area of earth's surface receives more solar energy the North Pole the South Pole or Northern Hemisphere or the Equator?
The Equator receives 12 hours of sunlight every day all year. The poles only receive six months of sunlight, and the Northern Hemisphere experiences different amounts of sunlight in hours each day, depending on the season.
Why does South University require 182 credits to receive a bachelor's degree?
It is because South University operates on a quarter semester system. 182 quarter hours equals approximately 121 semester hours or credit hours. Colleges and universities that operate on a semester system require between 120 and 128 credits.
Where it could be dark for more then 24 hours?
The North Pole and South Pole (Antarctica) are two places on Earth where it can be dark for over 24 hours. During the respective winter-times of the North Pole and Antarctica, these areas can go with little to no sunlight for months at a time. Additionally, enclosed spaces such as caves may not receive any sunlight for extended periods of time.
Areas farther north or south of the equator receive from sunlight?
Areas farther north or south of the equator reception of the sun depends with the position of the sun at the time.

What city would probably have a warmer climate one at 60 degrees north or one at 10 degrees south and why?
The city located at 10 degrees south latitude would be warmer than the other. This is due to the amount of sunlight each city receives. The city located at 10 degrees south latitude will receive more sunlight as it is located near the equator, and sunlight is the most concentrated near the equator as it is located almost overhead, and thus is warmer. However, the city located at 60 degrees north latitude would receive less and more spread out sunlight due to the tight angle that sunlight is shining, thus it would have a cooler climate.
