∙ 11y agoIf you mean "how many hours are IN one day", then there are 24 hours in a day.
If you imagine the earth standing still with its axis tilted 23 deg. clockwise and the sun off to the right, regardless off the earths rotation, the north pole is always in the suns light, this is the longest day in the northern hemisphere. If you move the sun over to the left, this represents the shortest day in the northern hemisphere, and the north pole is always in shadow. note: The earths axis remains parallel in both positions due to gyroscopic influence of earths rotation. If you place the sun directly behind the earth, that's one of the equinox positions, the other would be directly in front of the earth. The time between longest and shortest day is 6 months, and the equinox are midway between longest and shortest day
24 hours are in one day...:)
There are 24 hours in a day.
24 hours a day
On the first day of summer at the North Pole, the sun remains above the horizon for 24 hours. This phenomenon is called the midnight sun due to the continuous daylight during this time.
Twenty-four hours of daylight.
The North pole
At the North Pole during the December solstice, there is 24 hours of darkness. This is because the axial tilt of the Earth causes the North Pole to be tilted away from the sun during this time, preventing sunlight from reaching that region.
Zero. At the north pole, the sun sets around September 23, and it doesn't rise again until March 21.
24 Hours of straight sunlight
Around the north pole in the (northern hemisphere) summer.
On the last day of summer at the North Pole, the sun is still above the horizon for 24 hours, so there is continuous daylight with no darkness. This phenomenon is known as the midnight sun.
North pole, It's tipping away from the sun and is actually dark 24 hours a day.
The number of daylight hours each day is greatest at the North Pole during the summer months when the sun does not set for an extended period of time. This phenomenon is known as the midnight sun.
The North Pole is dark for six months- from the September Equinox (September 21) to the March Equinox (March 21).
