Do you know about a place where there is neither sunrise for 6 months nor sunset for 6 months?
Perhaps centuries ago, the life of humans depended on sunrise and sunset. people used to wake up with sunrise and by sunset they used to be inside their homes. But now it is not so. In big cities, day and night are not known. However, sunrise and sunset are happening here even today, as they have been happening since the existence of the earth. But do you know that there is a place on this earth where there is neither sunrise for 6 months nor sunset for 6 months. Let us tell you in this article today how the people there spend their lives in such an environment.
The place we are talking about is called Antarctica. While there are 4 types of seasons in the whole world, antarctica has only two. Winter or summer. When there is sunrise for 6 months in this place, it is summer season. However, the heat here is also colder than the winter of other countries. Whereas, when there is sunset for 6 months, this entire area becomes a desert of ice. Scientists say that the reason for this part of the earth having day for 6 months and night for 6 months is the rotation of the earth on its axis in a crooked manner.
norway, located near antarctica, is a country where there is no sunset for 76 days. That is, the sun keeps shining in this country for 76 days. Apart from this, the same thing happens in Finland, Sweden, Canada's Nunavut, iceland and Alaska's Borough. Talking about sunset, the sun does not rise for several weeks in norway in December. This phenomenon is called "Polar Night" there. However, the sun rises and sets the rest of the time. If you have gone to visit here, then it is possible that you may have a problem with this, but the people who have been living there for centuries have become used to it. There are many such videos on YouTube in which you can see how the people there manage the night and day. A person living in norway made a video at around 2 o'clock in the night and showed that at this time there is light in the whole country and the sun is overhead, but there is silence everywhere. This is because people are sleeping in their homes. Like humans, animals have also adapted themselves in such a way that they rest at night and do their work during the day.
