Why norway is called land of mid night sun and how this canbe possible?

Answer 1

Well, this is pretty basic stuff. Have you heard of the Arctic Circle? As we orbit the sun, the planet's tilted axis makes either the arctic or the antarctic tilted "towards" the sun.

So for some of the summer, the sun shines for 24 hours (i.e. is visible to the eye), and for some of the winter there is not one second of sun. The reverse happens in the antarctic.

If you're near the equator, the "equivalents" are the two tropics (I.e. the same planet tilt / orbit location affects sunshine down there.)

And all of it is simply wrapped up in "the seasons". I'll look for a simulation on the web. BRB. See:

The second is animated and will hopefully demonstrate how it's possible, but it's not specific to Norway. When I've been in Sweden and the Canadian Arctic during the summer, it's the same of course - we could set off on a long hike at 2:00AM.

HTH. Cheers, Brett.

Answer 2

Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland are located on the Artic Circle. during the summer months for the northern hemisphere the North Pole is pointed toward Sun so those countries and any others have sun light 22 to 24 hours a day the sun is still shining at midnight

Answer 3

In mid-summer season the sunlight in no way gadgets and in basic terms hovers over the horizon, yet this would desire to ensue everywhere in that selection, so it would desire to be a reliable promoting ploy for Norway. attractive usa!

Answer 4

I think because it's between Finland and Sweden
