Total number of days sun never sets = 75
Total number of days sun never rises = 56
The sun
rises for the first time each year about January 18th. At first it
only tops the horizon in the southern sky and sets again shortly. Each
day it stays up longer and climbs a little higher in the sky. The distance
between where it rises and sets along the horizon expands each day; its point
of rising moves toward the east and it sets more toward the west. By
March 20th the sun is above the horizon for 12 hours a day, and it spans
half the distance around the horizon. It makes a low arc in the sky
from sunrise to sunset, with the pinnacle of the arc directly south and only
about halfway up in the sky. In the Arctic the sun never reaches directly
overhead. By May 15th the sun no longer sets. It merely circles
around the horizon, reaching its highest point directly south and its lowest
point directly north. Picture a tilted circle compared to the flat circle
of the horizon. On July 29th the sun first begins to set again. It
now reverses the order it started in January, and slowly decreases the time
it remains above the horizon and its movements around the horizon. By
September 23rd its time above and below the horizon is equal - 12 hours.
The sun sets its final time for the year on November 24th. The sun
is not seen again until January 18th of the next year.
