the more north during the winter months you go from the equator, the longer the it stays dark, there is one day in a year in North Pole where it will stay dark for 24 hours, the same holds true for the southern hemisphere during its respective winter time.

Make sure your timezone information is correct.

This is simply a matter of perspective. From the South Pole, the earth's rotation is clockwise.

I use the link below at work.  I work for an International company and need to know the time zones around the world.  The link below is helpful.

The North pole is over sea, South is over land.\n\n\nPolar bears in the North, Penguins in the South.

Looking at http://www.worldtimezone.com/index12.php, it looks like it should be 4:00 pm.

there are 24 different time zones.  One for each hour of the day

Antarctica is the southern most point on the earth, we commonly refer the it as the South Pole
942259
is 9:00 P. M. pacific time & 8:P.M. central time\n\neven though mountain time is bethween the two times that is the time a show comes on pacific & the time the same show comes on in central time

They use New Zealand time (UTC+12) at the U.S. station there, which happens to be the only station on Antarctica.

Scientists are delaying the start of 2006 by the first "leap second" in seven years, a timing tweak meant to make up for changes in the Earth's rotation.\n\nThe adjustment will be carried out by sticking an extra second into atomic clocks worldwide at the stroke of midnight Coordinated Universal Time, the widely adopted international standard, the US National Institute of Standards and Technology said this week.\n\nFor more info, visit:\nhttp://www.theage.com.au/news/world/a-year-late/2005/12/25/1135445473624.html

If you want the time and date, it's 8:26 AM EDT June 21st and 7:22 PM EST December 21st this year. (Sky & Telescope magazine Almanac 2006)\n\nIf you want to see what they are, put a globe on your table and stand where the North Pole is leaning toward you.  If you (the Sun) look at the globe from the level of the Earth's center, you'll see that the Sun is at its northernmost latitude - The Tropic of Cancer.  That's the summer solstice.  Six months later - on the side where the South Pole points toward you, the Sun is overhead at its most southern latitude - The Tropic of Capricorn.  That's the winter solstice.\n\nIt seems odd, but because of the ellipticity of its orbit the Earth is actually closer to the sun in the Northern winter than it is in the summer - by about 3-4 million miles.  As you can see from the exercise above, though, from the Northern Hemisphere viewpoint the sunlight is very slanted in the winter and more directly overhead in the summer.

Time difference is 24 hours? That would be on the date line.\n\nThe date line runs from the north pole down through the Pacific ocean and to the south pole... the only land under this line is Antarctica and the Arctic Ice sheet.\n\nIf you were to stand on the eastern side of the date line and look to the east then you will actually be seeing yesterday, if you were to step over it and look west then you will be seeing tomorrow.\n\nEDIT: People who think there is not one... please think before answering a question.\nConsider that the date line exists at +12 and -12 hours GMT at the same time... the difference between +12 and -12 is a total of 24 hours.\n\nQuote from Wikipedia:\n"If one crosses the date line at precisely midnight, going westward, one skips an entire day; while going eastward, one repeats the entire day."

************************************************************\n\nLongitute or 'meridians' are imaginary lines that run from the north pole to the south pole. Or maybe South to north...hmmm...I'm not sure which way....I suppose if you're in the north....but then.......Oh! Nevermind that. The point: These lines measure time and distance for east and west on the globe. Remember they run north and south. They resemble an orange with it's slices running up and down. Each line between the orange slices would be a longitude line. There is 24 primary longitude lines that are 60 minutes apart. They can be broken down into minutes, degrees, and seconds but thats probably more than you are needing to know about right now. The Prime meridian where the time begins, or where the zero/24 begin and end, is called zero point of longitude or universal prime meridian. Check out any globe of the earth and you will most likely find the Prime Meridian somewhere over Europe in Greenwich.\n\nLatitude goes the other way. They are parallel lines (lines that are equally distanced from one another at any point of the lines) that run east and west but measure distances north and south of the equator. They also run parallel with the equator. So, like the equator that runs all the way around the world without touching another latitude line, the others do as well. Each circle or ring, get smaller and smaller the further north or south you go.\n\nLines of latitude intersect with lines of longitude at points on the globe and are used to specifically  locate points on the globe. These are measured generally in degrees, but, as mentioned earlier, can be broken down even further. My city, for example, is 39 degrees north and 95 degrees west. I've included a website that you can check your own city's location and time among other information. Just enter your city name and press enter.\n\nI hope this is helpful. Good luck.\n\n*************************************************************
