Can auroras only occur at night?
They occur day and night, but are more easily seen during the night.
Do tornadoes occur mostly at night or day?

How does day occur?
The sun comes over the horizon, and we then have 'day' as opposed to night.
Are there tornadoes in Illinois at night?
Yes. Tornadoes can occur at any time of day or night.
How often does the sequence of day and night repeat?
It depends where you are on the planet. For most of the planet the day-night sequence is repeated every 24 hours. However at the poles the day night sequence is repeated only once every year.
How night and day happen?
Day and night occur because the Earth is a rotating sphere, only half of which can be illuminated by the Sun at any one time. The sun-lit side is the day side, while the darkened side is in night.If the Earth did not rotate, it would still experience daylight over the entire surface (although for much longer extended periods) because the Earth also revolves around the Sun. This situation occurs at the poles due to the Earth's tilt with regard to its rotational axis. In any event, over a given year's time, all areas of the globe experience a total of 6 months of day and 6 months of night. At the poles, there is 6 months of continuous day followed by 6 months of continuous night.*If the Earth were tidally locked with the Sun, as the Moon is with the Earth, and the rotation/revolution periods were the same, only one side of the Earth would have perpetual day, while the other had perpetual night. This scenario would be highly unlikely to occur for a major planet.
Whether in Norway where 6 month day and 6 months night?
No. This only occurs at the poles. Northern Norway (Svalbard) has 5 months of continuous daylight from mid-April to September and 5 months continuous night from late October to March.
Can auroras only occur at night?
They occur day and night, but are more easily seen during the night.
When do the polar regions receive darkness for 24 hours?
Only regions north of the Arctic Circle, or south of the Antarctic circle, will experience at least one day without sunlight during the year. The closer one gets to the pole, the more days will occur without sunrise, and conversely the same number without a sunset. At either of the poles, there is 6 months of daylight and 6 months of night. The equinoxes are the starting and ending of the polar day/night, so the farther away from the poles, the later in the season the day of no sunlight will occur, and the earlier the day of no night.
Can respiration occur day or night?
Respiration occurs both day and night
What is the country name which have six month day and six month night?
NO COUNTRY has six-month day and six-month night. That only happens at the north and south poles, and the poles are not part of any country.
Why do poles experience six months day six month night?
Because It does
Do tornadoes occur mostly at night or day?
Tornadoes are more common during the day, but they happen at night fairly often as well. About 58% of tornadoes occur during the day.
Can tornadoes form at night?
Yes. Tornadoes can occur at any time of day or night. About 40% of all recorded tornadoes occur at night.
If the Poles have the greatest variation in the length of day and night where is the least variation?
tropic of cancer
