In 2013 I flew from MSP (Minneapolis/Saint Paul) to FAI (Fairbanks, AK). The flight left at 10:30 PM where it was at Astronomical Twilight. The further north we flew the lighter it got until over the Yukon Territory the sun rose in the Western sky. When the flight landed in Fairbanks at 12:30 am, the sun was up just over the horizon. It was truly amazing to see the sunrise in the West.

Locations below 18° of the Arctic/Antarctic circle will experience either civil, nautical or astronomical twilight during the day around the winter solstice, depending on their latitude.

it's not dark in the winter all day long. during the winter the upper part of Norway does get light, but it's more like pre dawn twilight right before sun rise. as for the summer in the upper part of Norway, yes it's true that it doesn't get dark, but it doesn't stay bright outside all night long either, rather the sun light is, equivalent to a sun set.

At 3:25 the narrator made an error saying the sun was no longer shining on the US. The last time I checked, Alaska is in the US and half the state is above the Arctic Circle. She should have qualified her statement: "except for Alaska, the sun is no longer shining on the lower 48 states of the US".

@Marina MacDougall With all due respect, I’m not sure it is correct to assume all viewers understand this. Notice the opening map of the video that places Norway significantly north of North America even though parts of Canada are north of Norway. Having watched the video again, I still believe it was a glaring omission for her not to qualify her statement that she was referring to, including Hawaii, the lower 49 states of the US.

Hasselnøtt Per There's a time laps of the Sun in the summer at the arctic circle when it stays light 24/7, when you look at this footage you see the Sun rise for 6 hours then fall for 6 then rise for 6 then fall for 6, if the earth was tilted it would cause one side of the artic circle to rise compared to the other side of the artic circle and this difference of elivassion should caues the Sun rise for 12 hours then fall for 12.

Not many people open their eyes and realize this. Either the earth is a globe and NOT spinning, the sun is rotating around us, or the earth is flat. Its one or the other. The sun could NEVER be seen going in one direction on a spinning earth.

if you were to face toward the sun, half the time the sun would move east to west, then the other half time west to east according to your location near the top of the earth in reference to the sun.....The only time it would go fully in a 360 circle would be if you were right at the north pole.... but this happens above Fairbanks, outside the arctic circle.....
@LOTRFAN338 жыл бұрын
This doesn't make sense. If you were to face the sun on a rotating Earth the sun would move in a "zig-zag" motion up and down, which is what happens with the midnight sun. How could the sun move half the time from east to west and the other half from west to east on a rotating earth? That would imply the earth stopping and rotating in the opposite direction.

So the arctic and antartic circle are like the boundaries of 24 hour daylight/darkness ?
@niceguy84783 жыл бұрын
Yup, basically. However, because of the refraction of Earth's atmosphere, the Sun appears slightly higher on the horizon than it actually is. That means that slightly outside of these circles you can still have full 24 hours of light (i.e. Sun above the horizon). Also, remember that we can see light even before the Sun rises, so if the Sun sets at 11:30pm but then rises at 1:00am, while technically they don't have the midnight Sun, you can imagine that such a quick night isn't really dark.

@usleratntop Жыл бұрын
the earth is tilted relative to the sun. Do an experiment at home if you can, please try this: Get two balls. Imagine one is the sun, and the other is earth. Hold them up exactly side by side, and start spinning the ball that represents earth. I'm going to assume you started spinning the ball either to the right, or to the left, compared to the sun. Well it turns out, that the earth does NOT spin sideways relative to the sun. The earth spins at an angle compared to the sun. Put the ball that represents the sun on a table, and continue holding the earth next to it. Spin the earth again, but this time, instead of spinning the earth sideways, angle the ball slightly towards the sun, and start spinning the ball at that angle. I will link a picture here that you should look at, and then continue reading the rest: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/isuqdKer3LS-oJs.html You have now created the earth tilted on its axis, relative to the sun. Now, without moving that angle you created, start walking around the table that the sun is on. you will notice that different parts of the ball are angled towards the sun at different times. I hope this helped you and please reply if you have any questions😁
