Why are there no shadows on the North Pole in December?

• Earth's poles only receive enough light to generate a shadow during an equinox.

• Earth rotates on a straight axis, and light is not received by either of Earth's poles.

• The Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun, and that portion of Earth receives no radiant light.

• The Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun, and that portion of the Earth receives so much radiant light that no shadows can form.
