Best Answer

Pretty much all inhabited countries north of the Arctic circle lays claim to the name "land of the midnight sun".

This is because of the tilt to the Earth's axis, the sun never drops below the horizon for the duration of the summer.

Why is Norway called the land of the rising sun?

It is not. Japan is "the Land of the Rising Sun" and Norway is "the Land of the Midnight Sun." Areas in Norway are far enough north that, during the summer, the Sun is still in the sky late into the night. Places north of the Arctic Circle can have one or more days with no night at all (24 hours of daylight).
