The ground in this region is in permanent darkness. it takes ten minutes for sunlight to touch the ground.
- In space, light moves at a speed of about 3,000 kilometres per second. 1.5 million kilometres separate the Earth from the sun. As a result, it takes the sun 8 minutes and 20 seconds to reach Earth.
- The areas of the Earth that encircle its poles (the North and South Poles) that are located within the polar circles are known as the polar regions, sometimes known as the frigid zones or polar zones. In these high latitudes, the Antarctic ice sheet, which covers the continent of Antarctica and the Southern Ocean in the south, predominates over the floating sea ice that covers much of the Arctic Ocean in the north.
- There are other ways to define the Arctic, such as the area north of the Arctic Circle (which is now In 2010 at 66°33'44" N), the area alone north of 60° north latitude, or the area stretching from the North Pole north to the timberline. Typically, the term "Antarctic" refers to the region south of 60 degrees south latitude or the Antarctic continent. The earlier term is used in the 1959 Antarctic Treaty.
- The two polar zones are distinct from the two major climatic and biogeographical belts of the planet, a tropics belt around the equator, and two middle latitude regions situated between the tropics and the poles.
