Thank you very much. That was kind of you. Greeting from Norway. 😊

I’ve experienced it first hand, it sucks, big time.

Purge

Lol

Why dont you also teach your class how to figure the curve of earth and amount of drop per mile in distance!

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.

There's a timelapse of a flight from JFK to Moscow, filmed in May. It never gets completely dark.

Not entirely correct. Locations above 18° of the Arctic/Antarctic Circle will experience true polar night during the winter solstice. 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.

The Sun's rays on the Equator always hit it at a high angle. The *lowest* the Sun is at the Equator is around 66.5 degrees on either solstice, which isn't very low.

Exactly!

@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.

Only in the northernmost parts. Southern Norway and Finland don't have midnight sun at all, just very long days and short nights with twilight all night during summer.

Because you have the sun before sunset and the sun after sunrise?

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.

Jonathan M Bardsley What footage are you talking about? It's not possible on earth. No matter where you are on earth, there will be one solar noon when the sun is at its highest and one solar midnight when the sun is at its lowest.

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.

Why would it be impossible? Look at the flag and imagine this is you. The video shows that the light (the sun) reaches the flag all the time. Now from the perspective of the flag the sun is going around its location.

Why not? If you are on a carousel and fix your view facing outwards everything seems to o around you. It would be the same on a spinning globe.

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.....

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.

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.

There's also called civil/nautical/astronomical twilight too, so at the edge of arctic circle during winter solstice it it's not total darkness 24 hours a day.

did you just assume her gender? bruh its 2016

lmao

@@tariqpsp not anymore

Tum ko kya matlab

@@tariqpsp BUT NOT ANYMORE MEME

thats what i was gonna say isnt the earth moving extremely fast and spinning extremely fast at the same time?

23.5 (see Part 1)

Yeah it's not just Norway but I think this video was made to explain the entire phenomenon, using Norway as an example. That's the first country most people think about when it comes to 24hrs of sun. It doesn't mean Norway Is the only country

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😁

I worked midnight for 10 years so its same. Its not confusing at all. I live in Canada. People all over the world work midnight and it wont bother them.Why that bother you working during the darkness? r u ok?

@@Majeed_1995 watch your mouth buddy!!! 😡

ok got it now. the earth rotate on its orbital plane. hence the Norway part. aughhh love this video! so simple n easy to understand♥️

What place on earth has snow in the summer? That would be weird. Summer snow.

Joseph Clegg Well actually the northern part of Norway had snow on an unusually cold night in July last year I think, which was totally crazy because usually no parts of Norway get snow in summer at all. Luckily it all melted after a few hours

But some of our tall mountains can have snow all year

@@josephclegg3562 Countries who are above the sea level. Do you even study at school? you sound like a R. go Learn. all your comments are just plain Make you sound like you never study. In Lebanon people skiiing in the snow all the time.

I've seen the sun rise in the west. One June evening after sunset Minneapolis I left on a flight to Fairbanks. Looking out the window on the airplane, I saw the sun rise over the Yukon Territory and by the time the plane landed in Fairbanks, it was light and the sun was above the horizon. That was an interesting experience.

While not a country, Antarctica also experiences this.

@@niceguy8478 Except the northern part of the Antarctic Peninsula and some small spots along the coast of eastern Antarctica.

@@fromnorway643 : Yep...just depends on the latitude.

Kenneth Nilsen Not in Hammerfest. There’s light because of twilight but not because the sun has risen above the horizon.

So you can't visit in the winter?

BORNAGAIN19 truth

BORNAGAIN19 aja

THAT IS WHY ARTIC NORWAY DOES NOT HAVE ONLY SUMMER THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. Pfft.

Yes the further South you go the less daylight they get during the Summer but it's totally opposite in the Winter

Depends of your position in the earth. I live in Arctic Norway in latitude 68 and we get 2 months of midnight sun and 5 weeks of polar night

The earth is flat... Circular wall of Antarctica holding our oceans at their heights/depths.

Melissa you are correct. Water is always level!

@@melissafarrugia9531 do you even realize how stupid you are?

So called "Nice guy". Dissonance is the first battle. If we admit we only know what we have learned then there is always limitations. For you to assume you know more than another is quite an astounding self belief system. To assume that you know it all is just pure self worship. I only know what I know and you only know what you know. It's rather simple and if you will ever learn anything from another you must first assume they may know something you don't. Have a "Nice" day

@@melissafarrugia9531 you are stupid, and can't admit you're stupid. Only morons who can't understand the basics of science would think the Earth is flat. People like you want to think you are smarter than astronomers, physicists and the like, and you tell ME I am assuming I know more than others? Yeeeeah. You know more than all astrophysicists combined. Sure.

+YtEmoji What?

+Davis Strider The Earth is flat!

No. Like your spelling. It's way off.

lol. heliocentrical. did you make that up?

It doesn't, it moves to the _opposite side_ of the Sun.

It doesn't. That's a globe earth fantasy 😄

2020?
