Question

Why do the poles experience about six months day and six months night?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The poles experience about six months of day and six months of night due to the tilt of the earth on its axis. Because of this tilt, each pole is tilted towards and away from the sun for about six months each. When the North Pole is tilted towards the sun, it experiences continuous daylight for six months.

Answer 2

The tilt of the Earth's axis causes the Poles to experience around six months of day and six months of night.

• Due to this tilt, each Pole spends roughly six months angled both toward and away from the Sun.
• The North Pole experiences six months of nonstop daylight when it is inclined toward the Sun. For the same time period, night has fallen at the South Pole. When the South Pole is tilted toward the Sun, these circumstances are inverted.
• The North Pole is illuminated throughout the day when the Northern Hemisphere is inclined toward the Sun (24 hours). The duration of this position is six months (from 21st March to 23rd September).
• On the other hand, during these six months, the South Pole in the Southern Hemisphere is completely dark. Thus, it spends six months in the dark.
• The South Pole is illuminated 24 hours a day for six months, from 23 September to 21 March, when the Southern Hemisphere is turned toward the sun. The North Pole experiences six months of night, which is the opposite of normal.
