Ok, because they are close enough to the south pole and it is tilted towards the sun. Just as I said. That is a clear consequence of what I wrote before.
So the sun is below the earth? Or horizontal with the earth? How is it that they see the sun itself above them? For the whole 24 hours.
That is simply untrue. We can stare out into space and see population 2 stars for goodness sake.

Observe ye everything that takes place in the heaven, how they do not change their courses, and the luminaries which are in the heaven, how they all rise and set in order each in its season, and transgress not against their appointed order. Enoch chapter 2:1-2
We do and it does. We see more stars with stronger telescopes and through a night and over a year the position of the stars change.
The way it is often drawn it would be horizontal. That is the natural consequence of the tilt, during their summer the south pole is tilted towards the sun as such the sun never goes below the horizon and the north pole is tilted away causing winter. On the other half of Earths revolution around the sun the seasons are shifted.
It should never be above the horizon if the earth is horizontal with the sun, what they should have seen is the sun at the horizon line the whole time, but what is seen is the sun above them the whole time. From their perspective the sun should be below them on the globe earth model.
It is not horizontal to the observers since the axis is slightly tilted, when I say horizontal I mean that the equator is in roughly the same plane as plane formed when the earth revolves around the sun.
That is categorically false.
Yes, I meant scientists and anybody else who happens to be there.
But people on opposite sides of the earth don't have light at the same time. When it's daytime here in th UK it is night in Australia, for example.
There are plenty of people who live north enough to see sun for a full 24hrs.
Not sure what that means but it doesnt...as i would unferstand what youre writing.
But why is it not consistent the world over? If it's flat it would be the same movement.
If it is 24hr light in the arctic...it is 24hr darkness in antarctic.
Preaching to the choir, mate. My eldest daughter lives in Aarhus, DK, and I've had occasion to be up in Skagen in December. Just once, which was entirely sufficient for my needs. It's a lovely place - in August. That's as near the pole as I need to be in any season.
In Skagen, Denmark, you can stand up on a chair, flip the moon over and see the LED bulbs and the patent information embossed into the plastic. (They replaced the old neon moon several years ago.)
Because the atmosphere exists. It scatters light. It's the same reason the sky is blue and not just a dark blackness with lots of tiny star and a big light. (Sort of like night with a full moon, but with the moon as bright as the Sun.)
It does, though there is a projection angle thing going on. If you measure the zenith angle z between straight up and the Sun, the amount of light you get is L = S cos z. The Solar constant is 1360 W/m^2. When the Sun is 60 degrees from zenith (30 degrees above the horizon) L = 1360 W/m^2 * cos (60) = 680 W/m^2 (half). At the horizon, z = 90, cos 90 = 0, total light goes to zero. Thus, the "limb" of an irradiated sphere, like the Earth or the Moon, will appear dimmer, but still be lit.
