During the December solstice, the North Pole experiences a period of continuous darkness known as polar night, as it is tilted away from the Sun. This tilt causes the Sun to be below the horizon, resulting in no direct sunlight for about six months. Conversely, the South Pole, located in Antarctica, is tilted towards the Sun on this date, experiencing continuous daylight known as the midnight sun. Thus, while one pole is in darkness, the other enjoys extended daylight due to the Earth's axial tilt and its orbit around the Sun.
