  • Question
  • 6 months day and 6 months night - Country Name?


  • Options
  • A. Nepal
  • B. Tibet
  • C. Norway
  • D. Iceland

  • Correct Answer
  • Norway 

    Explanation

    The case where there is 6 months day, and 6 months night could only happen on poles because The Earth is tilted on its axis.

    The pole which is away (opposite direction of sun) from the Sun remains in complete darkness till it comes in front of the sun.

    So we conclude that, countries at the poles have 6 months day, and 6 months night.

    So countries close to these region have such cases like, Alaska, Antarctica, Norway etc.

    Norway, the northernmost inhabited region of Europe, there is no sunset from approximately 19 April to 23 August. The extreme sites are the poles, where the sun can be continuously visible for half the year. The North Pole has midnight sun for 6 months from late March to late September.
