That's a good point. Hi, Muhammad! You're right, in some places the temperatures stay cool. That's not always a bad thing! Thanks for sharing this information, Torfinn!! We're glad you joined the discussion, yousaf! Thank you for exploring this Wonder and the comments! Hi, Mahdi! There are some places where that happens. For example, Alaska experiences this sometimes. You could research places online and at the library! We encourage you to keep researching at your library and online.
No worries, Nikolas! It can't stay dark forever. The far north also experiences months of total light. We think it might take some time to get used to sleeping while it's bright outside, but we think it's pretty cool, too, Tyler!
Hi there, Wonder Friend Julia! The sun stays out in certain areas due to those locations-- the North and South poles. The Earth's axis also has a lot to do with it: "This phenomenon occurs because the Earth is tilted on its axis by approximately 23 degrees. We are very proud of you! Hey there, Wonder Friend D!

Oooh, such great guesses, Grace! We're glad to hear it, Josephine L! The video shows a time lapse like fast-forwarding a video of nearly 20 days in Norway. This way, we can see how long the area stays light, and dark! Phew, we're glad you're back, Wondergirl! We think it would be difficult to adjust our schedule, too!
We're quite used to do things according to the sky-- it's it is light or dark outside! However, we think it's cool to imagine our lives flip-flopped around. It would be an opposite kind of day!

What this means is that the South Pole actually gets polar nights for one week longer than the North Pole. Where you are within the Arctic Circle will dictate which type s of polar night you will get and for how long. Polar twilight occurs at the inner borders of the polar circles.
This is when the sun is below the horizon but by less than 6 degrees — known as civil twilight. Above this we have civil polar night , where there is no civil twilight, only nautical twilight, where the sun is between 6 and 12 degrees below the horizon.
