When northern hemisphere is inclined towards the sun as a result of earth's revolution (the first six months in a year), places in the N.H. have longer days and shorter nights and hence places at the north pole have almost months-long day and therefore Norway, being situated far-north, the north pole 900, experience 20+hr. day and at night also, there is sun in the sky.
