How many months of day light in alaska?

Answer 1

I used to live in SE Alaska in Juneau (unfortunately, the Chicagoland area is home now).

It really depends on what you mean by daylight. In Juneau, there was daylight every day of the year. Some days just happened to be more than others.

If you are talking about the "long" days of summer..

Roughly 6 months of the year I'd say the daylight in the SE is pretty close to Chicago and the rest of the 48 states. June 21 is the longest day of the year. The days tend to be longer about a month plus or minus that day.

The shortest day is December 21. Once again, the days are shorter than other places about a month, plus or minus that day.

Answer 2

It depends on where you are. I live in Anchorage and there is daylight everyday. However, in the summer it is light out most of the time getting a little dusky around midnight for a few hours. The first day of summer is the longest day. The first day of winter is the shortest day. We get about 4 hours of sunlight from sunrise to sunset on that day. Up in the far north of Alaska by Barrow or the north slope there are a few months of darkness, a few of straight daylight and a few with both.
There is not any place in Alaska that has just 6 months of daylight and 6 months of darkness. There is always some gradual gaining or losing of light just like anywhere else really. It's just that the further north you go the more extreme it gets. If you notice, anywhere else in the U.S. the winter days are shorter and the summer days are longer.
It's the same way at the southern tip of South America and Antarctica....just reversed.
