A) The South Pole experiences 24 hours of darkness. B) It occurs on June 21.
C) The North Pole experiences 24 hours of darkness. D) The Sun is at aphelion.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) The North Pole experiences 24 hours of darkness.

Explanation:

On December 21, the earth is in an equivalent position on the opposite points in its orbit, So the South pole is tipped towards the sun and North pole away from it resulting in 24 hours of darkness at the North pole, as the sun is overhead on the Tropic of Capricorn. This phenomenon is winter solstice; while on June 21, North pole is tipped towards the Sun but the South pole is tipped away from the sun resulting in 24 hours of darkness on the South Pole, as the sun is overhead on the Tropic of Cancer.This phenomenon is summer solstice; while Aphelion is the position of the earth in its orbit when it is at its distant point from the sun.
