How could a city experience 24 hours of daylight?

Question

ok this is for an essey so whatever u think is correct may help?

Answer 1

I assume you are asking how it is physically possible for this to occur. Basically, during the summer, the Earths 23.5 degree tilt means that in the arctic (above 23.5 degrees) there will be a period of the year in which the sun never sets; conversely, there will be a period during the winter in which the sun never rises.

Answer 2

The Arctic Circle marks the southern extremity of the polar day of the summer solstice in June and the polar night of the winter solstice in December. Within the Arctic Circle, the arctic Sun is above the horizon for at least 24 continuous hours once per year, in conjunction with the Arctic's Summer Solstice - this is often referred to in local vernacular as midnight sun. Likewise, in conjunction with the Arctic's Winter Solstice, the Arctic sun will be below the horizon for at least 24 continuous hours

Answer 3

The city would need to be above the artic circle 66.5 degrees North latitude. In the middle of the summer the sun will never set.

Of course the same is true for the ant-artic circle at 66.5 degrees South latitude, in the middle of the Northern Hemispheres Winter.

Answer 4

If you are in a high latitude region during the summer you will experience 24 hours of sunlight. Same for low latitude but not cities or town near the south pole.

Search for midnight sun. Norway, sweden, finland.

Answer 5

Put in the polar region, either above the arctic circle or below the antarctic circle .
Put it on the moon and it will have 14 days of light and dark at a time.
Put it above the ecliptic and it could have perpetual light....at least until the sun burns out.

Answer 6

Be in the Arctic circle--Alaska for example

Answer 7

If it is above the Arctic Circle, yes.

Answer 8
