The Never-Setting Sun

Can you imagine six months of uninterrupted sunshine? Well, that's a reality at both the North and the South Poles.

This fascinating phenomenon is known as 'Polar Day' or 'Midnight Sun'.

It happens because the Earth is tilted on its axis by about 23.5 degrees.

During Summer in the extreme Polar Regions, the sun does not set for about six months.

That is, the sun is visible above the horizon even at local midnight.

Now, think of the opposite scenario - six months of darkness! This phenomenon called 'Polar Night' happens during winter when the sun doesn’t rise for six continuous months.

So, if you're planning a vacation to the extreme Polar Regions, you might as well leave your night lamp at home!.
