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.
What is the name of the day in which the hours of daylight and darkness are equal?
Equinox
What has 12 hours of daylight each day?
No place on Earth has 12 hours of daylight each and every day. Or, for that matter, on the Moon either, or on any known body in the Solar System..
How many minutes in the longest day of the year?
Every day has 24 hours. Since 1 hour = 60 minutes, (24 hr)*(60 min/hr) = 1440 min. The exception to the 24 hours is that every once in awhile, they add a 'leap second' to the day, so that the atomic clocks stay in sync with the Earth's rotation. If you are referring to minutes of daylight on the Summer Solstice (day with the most daylight hours), then I'm sure there are tables out there to find this information, but it will vary by location. In areas near the Arctic Circle they have daylight nearly all day in the Summer time, for example.
How many hours of daylight are there in a day?
depends what time of the year it is and where you live
Where would you be standing if you got 24 hours of daylight in per day in the summer?
If you experience 24 hours of daylight in the summer, you would be located in regions north of the Arctic Circle or south of the Antarctic Circle. This phenomenon is known as the midnight sun, where the sun remains visible for the entire 24 hours due to the tilt of the Earth's axis.
Why does the Antarctic Circle have 24 hours of darkness on 21st June?
This phenomenon occurs because the Earth tilts away from the sun, and this is the day where the extent of that phenomenon is shortest: one 24-hour period.
How many hours of darkness are there in one day north of the Arctic Circle or south of the Antarctic Circle?
North of the Arctic Circle and south of the Antarctic one, the periods of daylight and darkness both vary from zero to six months, during the course of a year.
When the Arctic Circle experiences 24 hours of daylight what is happening in the Antarctic Circle?
Never.The Antarctic Circle marks the latitude on planet earth south of which at least one 24-hour period has no sunrise or no sunset.All latitudes north of the Antarctic Circle experience one sunrise and one sunset each day...until the latitude of the Arctic Circle, where the reverse occurs.
How many daylight hours are there on December 21 at the Antarctic Circle?
It changes slightly every day, just like it does everywhere else on Earth. On a single day, it could be anything between zero and 24 hours, depending on the date, and exactly how far south of the Antarctic Circle you are. Over the course of a whole year, it averages out to 12 hours for each day. (Just like it does everywhere else on Earth.)
When it is day at the Arctic Circle what is it at the Antarctic Circle?
When it is day at the Arctic Circle, it is night at the Antarctic Circle. This is because the Earth's tilt causes one pole to be in 24-hour daylight while the other experiences 24-hour darkness, depending on the time of year.
The north pole is dark twenty-four hours a day during which season in the Northern Hemisphere?
Winter solstice will come for the northern hemisphere on December 21 in 2014. The region of earth that will have 24 hours of daylight is everything south of the Antarctic Circle.
In the Northern Hemisphere on the June solstice the number of daylight hours?
Is at its maximum, with approximately 12 to 24 hours of daylight depending on the latitude. This is the longest day of the year in terms of daylight hours.
What location has the greatest number of daylight hours?
The location that has the greatest number of daylight hours in a year is the North Pole. During the summer solstice, the North Pole experiences 24 hours of continuous daylight due to the tilt of the Earth's axis.
What is the name of the day earth receives 24 hours of daylight?
Any point on Earth rotates to face the Sun once each day. However, because of Earth's 23 degree axial tilt, in their respective summer months, those points north of the Arctic circle or south of the Antarctic circle will have the Sun visible in the sky for 24 hours a day. Conversely, in their winters these locations will be in the dark for 24 hours a day the sun will never rise. There is not a particular day when this happens.
How many daylight hours in Antarctica in January?
Commonly, the 'shortest day of the year' everywhere is the day when there is the least amount of direct sunlight. On Antarctica the 'shortest day of the year' may contain no sunlight, because the sun doesn't rise -- or set -- every day south of the Antarctic Circle.
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.
