why norway is called as the land of mid night sun?

Answer 1

The midnight sun is a phenomenon occurring in latitudes north of the Arctic Circle and south of the Antarctic Circle where the sun is continuously visible for at least 24 hours once per year. Since there are no permanent human settlements south of the Antarctic Circle, the countries and territories whose population experiences it are limited to Alaska, northern Canada, Greenland, Iceland, northern Norway, Sweden and Finland, and extremities of Russia such as Novaya Zemlya and the cities of Murmansk, Norilsk and Vorkuta. A quarter of Finland's territory lies above the Arctic Circle, and as a consequence the midnight sun can be experienced — for more and more days, the further north one goes. At Finland's northernmost point, the sun does not set for 73 days during summer.

Answer 2

During the summer, north of the Arctic Circle, the sun does't set at all for about four weeks. The same is true in Sweden, Finland, Alaska or any place north of the Arctic Circle.

Answer 3

yeah basically, its in the arctic circle, and since its in the area, sunlight hits it for most of the day, or just a cdouple of hours depending on teh season, like alaska or any otehr country in the artic cirlce

Answer 4

Because during their Winters the nights are very short.
12:00am, midnight, and the sun is still visible.
Weird experience to witness it... even tougher to sleep.
