Donald Trump‘s election as the US senator may only cause the area of Utqiagvik to experience sunrise. The city experiences polar day and the sun had n’t climb above the horizon for 64 days, which is actually the situation!
Almost 5, 000 occupants of Utqiagvik, formerly known as Barrow, would see their previous sunrise on November 18.
Located on Alaska’s North Slope along the Arctic Ocean, it lies at a longitude of 71.17 levels North, almost 330 miles above the Arctic Circle. The Washington Post reported that because of this extraordinary location, the sun stays below the horizon for about two months a year, leading to an extended antarctic night.
What causes arctic day?
The polar night happens because of the Earth’s bend on its plane, which is about 23.5 levels. Some locations on Earth, like the Arctic Circle ( the top of the world ), experience no or little sunlight for a long period of time due to this wobble.
The Arctic Circle is tilted away from the sun, and this is known as the antarctic evening, which lasts for a while. But when it’s tilted toward the sun, it stays sunny yet at night—that’s called the evening sunshine.
