Day and night changes cannot be separated, where these changes occur because of the earth’s rotation or what is called the earth’s rotation and also the earth’s revolution. Under normal conditions, the sun will appear for 12 hours and set in 12 hours.

However, in this world, it turns out that some parts of the country have different compositions of day and night, aka the time of day is much longer than the time of night.

This condition or phenomenon is called the midnight sun, where the night is supposed to be dark but still looks very bright like daytime. Usually, countries that experience the Midnight Sun phenomenon are in the northern hemisphere.

During the summer, around June to August, the Arctic will be more inclined towards the Sun. That is what causes countries in the north of Earth to get more sunlight in a day.

Here are the countries in the world that experience the Midnight Sun.

Norway is one of the countries known as the land of the midnight sun in the world. How not, almost all cities in northern Norway have experienced the Midnight Sun phenomenon.

This phenomenon is commonplace in Norwegian society but extraordinary for many people from other countries. This country is located near the Arctic sector, where Norway is indeed a country experiencing quite extreme seasonal changes.

A city in Norway called Hammerfest, which is in the northernmost region, has 24 hours of daylight from early May to late July. This causes the air in the city to be very hot and must use air conditioning.

In addition, several other cities in Norway will experience a phenomenon called the Midnight Sun. Where it is already midnight, but there is still a sun that seems to be setting but not completely so that the country is filled with twilight and light again.

Greenland is the first country to experience the Midnight Sun phenomenon in the world. The duration is also estimated to be longer than in other countries experiencing a similar phenomenon.

This country with extremely cold weather and temperatures has daylight hours of 20 to 21 hours every April to the end of August. Not many people live in this country, even in the most sparsely populated areas. This is very reasonable because a layer of eternal ice covers 80 percent of the Greenland area.
