At the north pole sun rise only once during the (northern) spring (around March 21)... True or false?

Answer 1

True....AT the North Pole only......ya caught me napping...80)...it rises on the spring equinox and sets near the autumn equinox.....roughly 189 days later...

Answer 2

Sorry bu the answer is false. The tilt does give the northe pole a lenghty strech of lets say starless nights but on the first day of the northern spring the length of day is 12 hours just like the rest of the world. see the suns rays on the spring equinox and fall equinox are on the equater so thereis no tilt in the planet relitive to the sun so everyone in the world experianxces a 12 hour day on those 2 days.
I have a feeling you know this and this is a trick question.
Well done if so.

Answer 3

This is a good question. The answer is true.

We do not feel it, but the earth is moving in three directions at once. First of all, it tilts on its axis as a pendulum in a grandfather clock goes side to side. Your forearm is a good example. Stretch it out and bring it back. This is how the earth changes seasons. This is the second slowest movement the earth makes.

The slowest movement the earth makes is circumventing the sun. The fastest movement the earth makes is rotating on its axis. All of this to keep us from going into the sun.

Answer 4

It is true.Day time lasts for six months and night time lasts for six months at North pole.For the two poles, one day lasts for one year .Therefore only one sunrise will be there in one year.For north pole the sunrise is around March 21st(Vernal Equinox) and for south pole it is around September 23rd (Autumnal Equinox).

Answer 5

True - at the north pole.

Answer 6

True, earth is tilted
