arctic circle daylight hours
For several weeks on either side of that date, the Sun might only set for an hour or two, and even then the sky never gets completely dark. On the winter solstice (December 21), there are no hours of daylight, since the Sun never rises at or above the Arctic circle on that date. For several weeks on either side of the winter solstice, the Sun will only be in the sky for an hour or two. Closer to the equinoxes (on or near March 21 and September 21), people living at the Arctic circle have 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness, just like everybody else on the planet.
