Sweden is the country that has next to no sunlight in 1999 they only had 20 minutes of sunlight in December, this is the closest a country has to no sunlight. Also the reason why Sweden has such a high suicide rate !
The polar jet stream is primarily responsible for bringing cold Arctic air to the US. This fast-moving ribbon of air flows from west to east in the upper atmosphere, transporting cold air from the north and south. When the jet stream dips southward, it allows cold Arctic air masses to move into the US and bring freezing temperatures.
Sunlight hits the Earth at a low angle primarily at the polar regions, such as the Arctic and Antarctic. In these areas, the sun's rays spread over a larger surface area, resulting in less intense solar energy per unit area. This phenomenon leads to colder temperatures compared to regions near the equator, where sunlight strikes more directly and is concentrated over a smaller area.
Picture the round Earth. The sunlight hits abut half of the Earth's surface, and that half is in daylight. Now picture somewhere near the arctic circle, where the sun is not hitting it very directly even at it highest point because it's near the edge of the half that is in daylight. Assuming that point is not actually inside the arctic circle, the sun will rise and set normally. But since it's so close, it doesn't take much for the sun to set. So even when a full cycle still takes 24 hours, more than 12 of those hours will be in darkness because the sun doesn't get very high in the sky even at noon.
The sun is always shining above the Arctic and Antarctic Circles during their respective summer months, a phenomenon known as the Midnight Sun. Additionally, in regions near the equator, there is relatively consistent sunlight throughout the year, with minimal variation in day length. However, no location on Earth experiences continuous sunlight year-round due to the planet's axial tilt and rotation.
Yes, there is sunlight in the Arctic Ocean, except during the winter.
The cold atmosphere is above the Arctic.

Indirect rays refer to sunlight that has been diffused, scattered, or reflected before reaching a surface or area. This can occur when sunlight is blocked by clouds, trees, or buildings, creating indirect lighting conditions.
because there is less atmosphere in the Arctic

The Arctic tundra experiences long daylight hours during the summer months, with some areas receiving up to 24 hours of sunlight due to the midnight sun phenomenon. In contrast, during the winter months, the Arctic tundra experiences long periods of darkness, with some areas getting only a few hours of sunlight or none at all.
True. The curved shape of Arctic poppy petals helps to concentrate sunlight towards the center of the flower, providing warmth and energy for pollinators in the cold Arctic environment.
Because it doesn't get much direct sunlight.
In the arctic to shield eyes from the reflection of sunlight on snow.
