Sun never sets/rises.?

Question

Where is the place where sun never sets/ rises, is it Canada & what is the reason?

Answer 1

There is not a place on the earth when the sun doesn't set or rise. By virtue of the earths axis the polar regions have a unique period of extended daylight and a period of extended night but they do experience sunrise and sunset.

Answer 2

Due to the angle of the earth's axis the sun does not set (go below the horizon) at the north pole during summer in the northern hemisphere or at the south pole durring summer in the southern hemisphere. In fact it extends as far south as the Arctis circle in the north.

Here is a proper definition

The Arctic Circle marks the southern extremity of the polar day (24 hour sunlit day, often referred to as the "midnight sun") and polar night (24 hour sunless night). North of the Arctic Circle, the sun is above the horizon for 24 continuous hours at least once per year, and below the horizon for 24 continuous hours at least once per year. On the Arctic Circle these events occur, in principle, exactly once per year, at the June and December solstices respectively. It is called the Arctic because it is corresponds to the southernmost point of the Constellation Ursa Major (the Great Bear or Megas Arktos in Greek).

Answer 3

The planet Mercury never has a sunset or sunrise because it is gravitationally locked to the sun and always faces the same face toward the sun.

All points on the Earth's surface have a sunrise and sunset at least every six months.

Answer 4

There is no such place on Earth. North of the arctic circle, or south of the antarctic circle, the sun stays above the horizon for six months at a time, then below the horizon for six months.

Answer 5

There is no such thing but some times of the year in alaska and russia the sun does not come up sometimes of the year.

Answer 6

Alaska

Answer 7

I believe you are referring to the far side of Mercury. I think it shows only one side to the Sun because it is spin is locked to its orbit.

Answer 8

There is no such place. Clearly somebody was attempting to explain the concept to you...and failed.

Answer 9

the earth is tilted... look at a globe
