A polar day refers to a day when the sun does not set for 24 hours. This occurs because the top of the earth tilts toward the sun during one half of the year. Areas in the very northern and very southern parts of the globe are the only regions that experience both polar days and polar nights.
What Causes Seasons on Earth? Seasons happen because Earth's axis is tilted at an angle of about 23.4 degrees and different parts of Earth receive more solar energy than others. Earth's orbit around the Sun is elliptical. Seasons are caused by Earth's axial tilt and temperatures and nature's processes are affected. Because of Earth's axial tilt (obliquity), our planet orbits the Sun on a slant which means different areas of Earth point toward or away from the Sun at different times of the year. Around the June solstice, the North Pole is tilted toward the Sun and the Northern Hemisphere gets more of the Sun's direct rays.
