White nights are when it stays light outside even at night! 🌞 It happens in places near the North and South Poles. The sun doesn’t go down completely, so it’s never really dark.
Imagine playing outside at bedtime, and it’s still sunny! That’s what white nights are like. Some people even have parties because it’s so special!
White nights are a natural phenomenon where the sky never gets completely dark at night. 🌍 This happens in places close to the Arctic or Antarctic Circles during summer because the sun doesn’t set far below the horizon.
For example, in cities like Saint Petersburg or Oslo, the sun might just “dip” below the horizon, leaving a twilight glow all night. It’s like having a very long sunset!
People in these places often enjoy outdoor activities late at night, like picnics or concerts, because it feels like daytime.
White nights occur in high-latitude regions during summer due to Earth’s axial tilt. 🌎 Near the Arctic or Antarctic Circles, the sun remains close to the horizon even at midnight, creating prolonged twilight or even full daylight at night.
