♥♥ Midnight Sun ♥♥

The midnight sun (also known as the black sun) is a natural phenomenon occurring in summer months at latitudes north and nearby to the south of the Arctic Circle, and south and nearby to the north of the Antarctic Circle where the sun remains visible at the local midnight. Given fair weather, the sun is visible for a continuous 24 hours, mostly north of the Arctic Circle and south of the Antarctic Circle. The number of days per year with potential midnight sun increases the farther poleward one goes.
****************************************
The opposite phenomenon, polar night, occurs in winter when the sun stays below the horizon throughout the day.

I live in the UK but wished I lived in Scotland for the Summer Solstice becasue by the looks of it, it gets dark last and light first.

Thanks for a very "illuminating" video. Now, for the first time I see why the Arctic stays light. If a picture is worth a thousand words, this video is worth a thousand pictures.

Yes they can, in Scotland they call it the "simmer dim". Look it up on wiki.

It's easy for me to forget how close northern Europe is to the arctic.

So on June 21st at midnight, can people in a place like Scotland at least see the glow of dusk directly north?

Thank you for sharing this wonderfully enlightening illustration of how the arctic circle is defined.
