How can you have 36 hrs of sunlight?
During the summer in the northern hemisphere, the farther north you go the longer the sunlight lasts during a day. Traveling north, you will reach a point where the sun will not set but rather appear to travel in a circle because of the rotation of the earth . The closer you get to the pole the more sunlight there is. In Barrow Alaska, at 2:58am on the 10th of May, 2008 there was a sunrise. The sun did not set until August the 2nd at 2:03 am. The sun stayed visible in the sky in Barrow Alaska this year for 85 consecutive days. That's 2,040 hours. The reverse will happen this winter when the sun is below the equator. There will be months of darkness in Barrow Alaska. When the sun is high in the sky in the northern hemisphere it is low in the southern hemisphere, so they get darkness when the north has light and they get light when the north has dark.
