In the regions about the Arctic Circle there is daylight period for nearly 24 hours and the temperature of such places is know to be a bit temprate in the summer than the winter period.
Nature has a way of keeping everything in balance, the regions in the Artic circle experience shorter number of hours of daylight in the winter, yet still, during summer, almost about 24 hours daylight!!!
Damn, this is wonderful. Anyway, I must say that the Inuits are very lucky, forget the fact that they depend mostly on meat, ain't man a survivor. I did trade to live there anyday. Do you know what it is not to feel the wrath of the sun on your head? I must say, yet another wonderful piece by @logic42!
It's amazing how the earth works, just like we know, the rotation of the earth about its axis cause day and night, the day when a part faces the sun and night when not getting the rays of the sun, but during rotation the earth also undergo a tilt of its axis of about 23.5° and this tilt explains day and night varation in the Arctic.
During the summer, the Arctic sees more time pointing towards the sun and during winter, more time pointing away from it due to the tilt, you can imagine that using the rotation of a ball. I agree with you, it's just wonderful.
About living in the Arctic, I hope you are not prone to cold, I mean harsh the harsh type :), then joining the Eskimos someday won't be a problem. Am glad you enjoyed the piece.
You are welcome @logic42.
And still there are people out there that seriously believes the earth is flat! I cannot phantom how it's possible. The shipping industry has been counting on the fact that the earth is round for centuries. Yesterday we had a guided tour at the Observatory in Oslo. It's primary purpose was to aid the shipping in positional services (finding the exact coordinates for Oslo, broadcasting time signals to the harbour allowing captains to calibrate their timepieces, calibrating sextants).
I wonder why they still belive that, although that might be with regards to their experience staying in the Arctic, but Geography had made it clear on that, now we have pictures taken of the earth from space, explanation on day and night and more to prove the earth's shape.
