उत्तर
In Antarctica, the sun does not set during summer because the Earth is tilted on its axis by about 23.5 degrees. During the austral summer, this tilt causes the South Pole and Antarctica to lean toward the sun, resulting in continuous daylight for months, a phenomenon called the midnight sun. As Earth moves around the sun, this tilt keeps the South Pole in constant sunlight for nearly six months, while at the same time, the North Pole remains in continuous darkness during its winter.
