Detailed explanation-2: -Locations around Earth’s equator only receive about 12 hours of light each day. In contrast, the north pole receives 24 hours of daylight for a few months in the summer and total darkness for months in the winter. These two annual times of light and dark are separated by a long sunrise and a long sunset.
Detailed explanation-3: -During June (Northern summer), the North Pole is turned towards the Sun, and the Sun shines there for 24 hours a day: it is the polar day.
Detailed explanation-4: -All points north of the Arctic circle (66.5o N latitude) receive 24 hours of daylight at this time (June 21, June solstice). 24 hours of daylight has the sun positioned close to the horizon throughout the day, like a permanent sunrise or sunset.
Detailed explanation-5: -North of the Arctic Circle, the sun is visible for 24 hours around the June Solstice.
Detailed explanation-6: -During the northern hemisphere summer solstice, the area “above” the Arctic Circle-above 66.5 degrees north)-receives 24 hours of daylight, while the south polar region is in total darkness.
