Do you know the mystery of day and night at poles? 


Are you living near the Earth's pole? If no, then you may not know the mystery at the poles. have you ever experience a day of 20 hours or a night of 20 hours? yes, it happens near the south and north pole. Astronomically we call it Midnight sun in which the sun appears all the time at the sky for 6 months and then the darkness of night grab that region for 6 months.



What is Midnight sun?


What are polar day and polar night? The midnight sun is when at least a part of the Sun's disk is visible above the horizon 24 hours of the day. The scientific name for midnight Sun is polar day and the opposite is the polar night.

 As the upper edge of the solar disc disappears below the horizon, the Sun has set, and there is no longer midnight Sun. The moment the solar disc again becomes visible above the horizon, it is sunrise. In the Northern Hemisphere, the midnight Sun starts on the North Pole as the Sun rises around the vernal (spring) equinox in March. 
Then there is midnight Sun for about six months. 

The Sunsets again around the autumnal (fall) equinox in September, entering six months of polar night. In the Southern Hemisphere, it is the opposite. There are polar nights when the Northern Hemisphere has polar days. 

Even though Norway is known as the "Land of the Midnight Sun" in the tourist industry, there is midnight Sun in several other countries in the Northern Hemisphere: USA (Alaska), Canada, Russia, Greenland, Finland, and Sweden.
