This is just another internet hoax.
It goes along with the 2012, Mars the size of the Moon and Nibiru hoaxes.
This question last raised it's head in 2008 and nothing happened then - so
nothing out of the ordinary will happen in 2011, or in 2012 either.
But wait! Don't go away disappointed. We do guarantee that this will definitely happen
in places that are located at just exactly the right latitude between the Antarctic Circle
and the South Pole ... the same places where it happens every year.
We also predict ... ahhh the mists are parting and we're beginning to see it clearly now ...
we also predict that from September 21 2011 until March 21 2012, the sun will not rise at all
at the north pole, and it will not set at all at the south pole.
The sun will rise at 6:07 Am and set at 17:07 PM (that's 5:07 PM). There is no 36 hours of night time.
at 7:36 AM CST
No, it is not a fact that the sun will shine for 36 hours on the 17th of October 2010. The amount of sunlight a particular location receives in a day is determined by the Earth's rotation and the time of year, and it is not possible for the sun to shine for 36 continuous hours in a single day.
The waxing crescent will rise and set 6 hours or less after the sun does.
Yes ... in places located at just exactly the right latitude between the Antarctic Circle and the South Pole. It happens every year in those places.
100 hours
The Earth rotates about its axis, causing the sun to rise and set. A full rotation happens every 23.934 hours. (Which is close to 24 hours, which is why a full day-night cycle is about 24 hours long.)
In Alaska there are two sun rises, because of how it sits on the Earth.
April fool.aha........aha.....
A day is still 24 hours. The sun may not rise or set during that period.
36 hours is 36 hours. In minutes, 36 hours is 2,160 minutes.
Sunrise in New York City on 26 Feb 1968 was at 6:36 AM EST (11:36 UTC).
