Which two lines of latitude show the edge of an area where at least one night in the summer the sun never sets and one day in the winter the sun never rises?
The Arctic Circle (66.5 degrees North) marks the latitude where the sun doesn't set at least once in summer. The Antarctic Circle (66.5 degrees South) indicates the latitude where the sun doesn't rise at least once in winter.
At the summer solstice it is light 24 hours a day?
This phenomenon, known as the midnight sun, occurs in regions north of the Arctic Circle and south of the Antarctic Circle during the summer solstice. It happens because the tilt of the Earth's axis causes the sun to never fully set below the horizon during this time of year.
The parallel ring of latitude where the sun does not set on the day of the summer solstice and does not rise on the day of the winter silstice it is near the north pole?
There is one of these 'rings' around the north pole ... called the Arctic Circle ... and another one around the south pole ... called the Antarctic Circle. These circles mark the farthest distance from each pole that can possibly have 24 hours without a sunrise, and 24 hours without a sunset. Each of them is located 23.5 degrees (of latitude) away from its pole. On June 21, the sun doesn't set on the Arctic Circle (the north one), and doesn't rise on the Antarctic Circle (the south one). On December 21, there's no sunrise on the Arctic Circle, and no sunset on the Antarctic Circle.
The Tropic of Cancer is to the Tropic of Capricorn as the Arctic Circle is to what?
The Tropic of Cancer is to the Tropic of Capricorn as the Arctic Circle is to the Antarctic Circle. They are lines of latitude either north (Arctic Circle, Tropic of Cancer) or south of the equator.
What is parallel to the Arctic Circle?
The Antarctic Circle is parallel to the Arctic Circle, as they both mark the latitudes at approximately 66.5 degrees north and south, respectively. These circles denote the points where the sun does not set on the summer solstice and does not rise on the winter solstice.
Does the sun ever set on the Arctic Circle?
You are misinformed, the Sun DOES set in the Arctic Circle.
What is the imaginary line drawn on the earth above which the sun will not set for at least one day?
The imaginary line is called the Arctic Circle. North of the Arctic Circle, in regions like northern Norway, Sweden, and Finland, the sun does not set for at least one day during the summer solstice in June.
Which two lines of latitude show the edge of an area where at least one night in the summer the sun never sets and one day in the winter the sun never rises?
The Arctic Circle (66.5 degrees North) marks the latitude where the sun doesn't set at least once in summer. The Antarctic Circle (66.5 degrees South) indicates the latitude where the sun doesn't rise at least once in winter.
How many months does the sun not set in the Arctic Circle?
Your answer depends on where you are on the continent. On the Antarctic Peninsula -- near the Antarctic Circle, you only experience one day of no sunset. At the South Pole, the period is six months.
What is special about June 21-22 in the Arctic Circle?
June 21-22 is the summer solstice in the Arctic Circle. During this time, the sun does not set, leading to a phenomenon known as the midnight sun where there is continuous daylight for 24 hours. This is a unique experience for visitors to the Arctic Circle.
What set of numbers is reasonable for the temperatures on a winter day?
The answer depends on a winter day in which part of the world! 10 deg C would be absurdly warm in the Arctic circle but exceptionally cold in the Tropics!
Where does the sun not rise one day in the winter and does not set one day in the summer?
Anywhere in the polar regions; north of the Arctic Circle, or south of the Antarctic Circle. The duration of the continual daylight or night depends on how far across the circle you are. If you lived just north of the Arctic Circle, there might be a two-or-three day period around December 21 when the Sun would not-quite-rise, and a couple of days around June 21 when the Sun would not quite set. At the poles, the Sun comes up at the spring equinox and goes down at the fall equinox; one "day" that lasts a year.
Does the sun never set during the arctic summer?
yes

Why is it dark all day in Finland during the winter?
The north of Finland is above the Arctic Circle so the sun doesn't set there for a period in the summer. In the south of Finland, the sun will set but is barely goes below the horizon, meaning that it never gets truly dark.
The Tropic of Cancer is to the Tropic of Capricorn as the Arctic Circle is to what?
The Tropic of Cancer is to the Tropic of Capricorn as the Arctic Circle is to the Antarctic Circle. They are lines of latitude either north (Arctic Circle, Tropic of Cancer) or south of the equator.
