The sun shines in the sky even at midnight! There is no night for 70 days in this mysterious place of the world
There are many mysteries hidden in the universe and on our Earth that challenge human thinking. We all have been seeing this since childhood that the sun rises in the morning and sets in the evening, after which the darkness of night falls. But do you know that there is a place on this earth where the sun never sets for about 70 days of the year? When people all over the world are sleeping, the scorching sun is shining even at 12 o’clock in the night. Everyone is stunned to see this unique miracle of nature. After all, where does this unique miracle happen? The northern tip of the European country Norway, which is known worldwide as the ‘Land of Midnight Sun’, witnesses this amazing and incredible geographical phenomenon. In areas like Svalbard and Hammerfest in Norway, the sun does not go below the horizon from the month of May until the end of July. This means that for more than two and a half months there is only day 24 hours a day and people spend their nights in the sun. What is the science behind this surprising incident? According to scientists and astronomers, there is no magical power behind this but the Earth is tilted on its axis. Our Earth is tilted on its axis at an angle of $23.5^\circ$. Because of this tilt, as the Earth orbits the Sun, its North Pole is constantly exposed to sunlight during certain months of the year. This is the reason why in these areas falling within the Arctic Circle, the sun shines continuously for about 70 days and the sunset does not occur there. Experience of local residents and tourists: Due to this unique weather, the sleep cycle of the tourists coming here gets completely disturbed, because even at midnight, the view outside looks like afternoon. Local people enjoy this time to the fullest and indulge in activities like playing golf, trekking and boating in the sea even at night. Every year lakhs of tourists come here to see this unique view of nature.
