Svalbard, Norway, has 24 hours of darkness in certain times of the the winter because it is above the Arctic Circle. As such, during parts of winter, the Sun never rises above its horizon.

The Arctic Circle is an imaginary circle, about 23.5 degrees of latitude south of the North Pole, representing the edge of the terminator as the Earth rotates about its axis, i.e. the edge between light and darkness from the Sun. Depending on the season, points within the Arctic circle can either stay in darkness all day, or they (in summer) stay in light all day.

How much does it cost to paint a house?

About $14 an hour or so. Here's more broad information, FYI: In 2002, median hourly earnings of painters, construction and maintenance, were $13.98. The middle 50 percent earned between $11.08 and $18.00. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $9.10, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $23.90. Median hourly earnings in the industries employing the largest numbers of painters in 2002 are shown below:

  • Local government $17.46
  • Residential building construction 14.01
  • Building finishing contractors 14.00
  • Lessors of real estate 11.62

In 2002, median earnings for paperhangers were $15.22. The middle 50 percent earned between $11.52 and $20.38. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $9.04, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $25.64. Earnings for painters may be reduced on occasion because of bad weather and the short-term nature of many construction jobs. Hourly wage rates for apprentices usually start at 40 to 50 percent of the rate for experienced workers and increase periodically. Some painters and paperhangers are members of the International Brotherhood of Painters and Allied Trades. Some maintenance painters are members of other unions. (The info above is from the U.S. Department of Labor.) Answer As with any self-employed person, the amount you earn is dependent on how much you work. Present a proposal to the prospective employer, absolutely show up on time and on the days promised and do a good job. If you use a good quality paint, do not thin it down or take the extra home. You will build your business by word of mouth since there are a lot of competitors who do not pay attention to the small stuff like that.
