At the summer solstice it is light 24 hours a day?
Yes, but only if you are north of the arctic circle in the northern hemisphere, or south of the antarctic circle in the southern hemisphere. In the more temperate latitudes, the summer solstice is the day with the longest period of sunlight. In far northern areas like Moscow, Russia, which is still south of the arctic circle, they do have a phenomenon around the time of the solstice that the call the "white nights"; The Sun goes down, but remains close to the horizon. So the effect is that the Sun sets, then they have a couple of hours of twilight, and then the Sun rises again.
Reason of longest day of year?
In the longest day of the year the areas covered by the arctic circle experieces 24 hours of sunlight as the earth is in perihelion that is the earth is clsest to the sun then. Hence the sunlght falls directly on the tropic of cancer and the areasaround the arctic circle experiences 24 hours of day. Heres the link to the structure of the earth during this time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summer_solstice
How do you fix 2001 Grand Cherokee overheating problem?
The further north you drive, the cooler the engine will get. If the problem doesn't resolve itself by the time you pass the Arctic Circle, you should call On-Star or AAA for further assistance.
How long does the midnight sun last in the Arctic Circle?
Exactly on the Arctic Circle, the sun stays up for 24 hours on June 21, and down for 24 hours on December 21.As you go further north from the Arctic Circle, the 'up' time in Summer increases, and the 'down' time in Winter increases.The farthest north you can go is the north pole. As seen from the pole, the sun is up for 6 months solid,from March 21 to September 21, and down for the other 6 months.
Will the overhead sun strike at the Arctic Circle or the Antarctic Circle at any time of the year?
No the Arctic and Antarctic circles are at about 66° 33′ 39″ North and South of the equator respectively. The Sun is directly overhead only latitudes between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn at 23° 26′ 22″ North and South respectively during the course of the year.The sun is theoretically visible the entire day and night at the arctic circle on midsummer (and at the antarctic circle at {northern hemisphere} mid winter).
What is the shortest day of the year in the world?
If you are referring to the time between sunrise and sunset, everywhere north of the Arctic Circle and south of the Antarctic Circle has at least one day per year on which the sun never rises. For places between the Arctic Circle and the Antarctic Circle it is the day of the winter solstice, which falls between December 20 and December 23 inclusive in the northern hemisphere and between June 19 and June 23 inclusive in the southern hemisphere. If you are referring to the time from "midnight" to "midnight", it is the 23-hour day on which daylight saving time or summer time begins.
What time is sunup and sundown time in barrow Alaska today?
In Barrow, Alaska today, the sun rises at approximately 1:31 AM and sets at around 1:35 AM due to being located above the Arctic Circle. This results in a period of continuous daylight during the summer months.
Is the Arctic Circle generally warmer or colder than Antarctica?
It depends on the time of the year, they normally have the same range of temperatures but winter (the time it is really cold not necessarily a season) is normally longer in Antarctica.The Arctic Circle on average has a temperature of -2 degrees Fahrenheit and Antarctica has an average of -6 FahrenheitAnother AnswerUSA Today prints: "The average high temperature for the year in Antarctica is about -49 degrees F, while the average low temperature for the continent is about -56 degrees F."Antarctica is a continent and is about 30 degrees F colder than its polar counterpart in the Arctic north, which is sea water and sea ice. This is one of the reasons why humans have lived for tens of thousands of years in the Arctic, but Antarctica is uninhabitable for any native peoples or animals: it's too cold.
What do you call it when areas go a long time without water?

What are the degrees of the artitic circle?
Not sure about the artitic (sic) circle but in 2012 the Arctic Circle was approx 66.56 degrees north of the equator. It is around 66.66 degrees north but the exact value depends on the tilt of the Earth's axis which changes slightly over time.
In the Arctic Circle during winter is it always dark?
In the Arctic Circle during winter, there are periods of continuous darkness called polar night, when the sun does not rise above the horizon. This darkness can last for several weeks or even months depending on the location within the Arctic Circle.

The umpire does not have to call time when the ball is in the infield, BUT when the pitcher has it in the circle so the play is OFFICIALLY dead.
