The sun rises and sets everywhere in the world. Naturally, both night and day come in one day. However, the only exception is in the case of Norway. This city is covered under ice for 8 months of the year. The sun does not rise here for two months of the year. Although there are some scientific explanations behind this.

According to science, due to the 23.5 degree tilt of the earth with the sun, the sun does not rise in Norway for 2 months of the year. That time is from November 21 to January 21. That is why this time is called the dark period. During this time, the sky is not completely dark. Then, various red and green lights can be seen in the sky. Which are called the Northern Lights or Aurora Borealis. Since this play of nature can be seen only in Norway, many tourists flock there at this time of the year.

On the other hand, just as the sun does not rise for two months of the year, the sun does not set for two months. The sun is in the sky from May 21st to July 21st. This time is called the Midnight Sun. Because the sun shines in the sky at two in the morning.

Due to the difference in the sun’s position with the earth, the polar regions of Alaska, Greenland, Norway, Finland, Siberia in Russia, and Antarctica in the South Pole have six months of day and six months of night instead of 12 hours of time. That is why the inhabitants there can experience day and night, but it is not like in other countries.
