What is the name of the imaginary line drawn on the earth above which the sun will not set for at least one day during the year?
In the northern hemisphere the line is the arctic circle. North of this line the sun does not rise on December 21st each year with more days having the lack of sun the further north you go. The sun does not set on June 20/21st in the same region with more days with full sun the further north you go during the summer. In the southern hemisphere the line is the antarctic circle.The same event takes place just reverse of the regions in the northern hemisphere. ie more sun in the winter and less sun in the summer.
Why do you see the sun rise early and set late in the summer?
The increased length of the day in the summer season is caused by the tilt of the Earth as it turns on its axis, relative to the plane of its orbit. When one hemisphere (northern or southern) is angled toward the Sun, sunlight reaches that hemisphere "earlier in its turning" (rises earlier) and stays on that hemisphere "later during its turning" (sets later).This occurs in summer, while the other hemisphere is experiencing the shorter days of winter. As the Earth orbits, its tilt stays the same, and leans the poles alternately toward the Sun or away.*During summer, one pole is experiencing 6 months of 24-hour daylight, because the Sun's light is always on it. When the Earth reaches the opposite side of its orbit, that pole will have 6 months of 24-hour night, when sunlight never reaches it.
