☀️ Why Does the Sun Sometimes Refuse to Set in Norway?
Imagine checking the time at midnight… and seeing the Sun still above the horizon. 😱
In northern Norway, this spectacular phenomenon is very real: it's called the Midnight Sun.
In this episode of 🌍 “1 COUNTRY = 1 MYSTERY”, discover why some regions of Norway can experience daylight 24 hours a day during part of the summer.
🔎 In this episode:
☀️ Why the Sun remains visible at midnight
🌍 The Earth's 23.5° tilt
🧭 The role of the Arctic Circle
🌞 Why the days become extremely long as you travel farther north
🇳🇴 The phenomenon in Tromsø
🏔️ The even more spectacular case of Svalbard
🌑 And its opposite phenomenon: the Polar Night
At the North Pole, the Sun can remain above the horizon for about six months before disappearing for several months.
But remember: not all of Norway experiences the Midnight Sun. The phenomenon mainly affects regions located north of the Arctic Circle.
🌍 A simple 23.5-degree tilt is enough to completely transform our experience of day and night.
👉 Imagine the Sun never setting for several weeks: could you still sleep normally? 😴☀️
