The elevation of an area will greatly affect the timings of a sunrise and a sunset. Depending on how high the altitude is, the sun can set or rise 8 minutes later than it would if the altitude was very low.
Because the orbit of the sun is some what curved and elliptical so it causes variation in timings of sunrise and sunset.

Sunset is 6:24pm. (from http://www.almanac.com/rise/index.php)
Alaska is a state where temperatures seldom rise into the 70s due to its northern location and colder climate.
Your question is more about sunrise and sunset. Every day every where on earth lasts 24 hours. In June, the sun does not rise, and in December the sun does not set -- generally, during each 24-hour period.
A full moon rises at sunset.
Anyplace on earth that's farther north than the Arctic Circle, or farther south than the Antarctic Circle, has at least one day a year when the sun doesn't rise, and at least one day a year when the sun doesn't set. The closer you get to the poles, the longer these annual periods of no sunrise and no sunset get. Most of Alaska is south of the Arctic Circle, and has a sunrise and sunset every day of the year. The Arctic Circle crosses Alaska on the line roughly through Shishmaref, Allakaket, and Fort Yukon. North of that line is where you can have 24 hours without a sunrise or 24 hours without a sunset.
The high average in June is above freezing, but one must wait until July before the low average goes above freezing.
