Oslo is the capital of Norway, located on the southeastern side of Norway close to the border with Sweden. Oslo is both a capital and county.
Sunrise about 8am, and sunset about 5pm, so 9 hours in total per day.
My family and I travel to Norway about every two years, and including travel to and from the airports, security, delays and layovers (because we always get the cheap seats), the total time it takes varies from about 19 to 23 hours give or take. It could be shorter if you took more direct flights.
An average nonstop flight from New York City to an airport in Norway is about 7 hours and 14 minutes. This depends on the wind speeds, and is based on the average speed of an airliner, 500 mph.
A random search for flights from Manila (MNL) to Oslo (OSL) shows:
OPTION 1: 17hr 40min via Amsterdam (AMS)
MNL - AMS KLM Royal Dutch Airlines Flt 804 Dep 10:45am 30Jul,Fri
AMS - OSL KLM Royal Dutch Airlines Flt 1151 Dep 08:35pm 30Jul,Fri
Flight Duration: 15hr 40min; Layover Time: 2hr 00min; Total Trip Time: 17hr 40min
Distance between London and Oslo is 724 miles or 1164.92 Kilometers
I believe it was Oslo. It used to be called Christiania in between being called Oslo twice in history.
Nobody actually knows, but some people think that "Os" means a height or a name of an old God, and "lo" might mean something similar to a field or plain. So Oslo can mean something like "the field under the height" or "The God's field" or something similar to that. But then again, nobody really knows.
That depends on where in Denmark you want to travel to, but it's approximately 250km (155 miles).
There are no sea near Oslo. Oslo is situated in the end of the Oslo Fjord, which starts in the Skagerrak Sea. There are numerous lakes in the surrounding protected forestareas around Oslo
The flight time for flights between the above places is 1 hours 44 mins
This is an approximate travel time. The actual time might change depending on the flight path chosen, weather conditions, etc.
Before Oslo was the capital Bergen was the capital because Norway did a lot of trading with Germany and other European countries and back then Bergen was easier to access by ship.
In 1624 Oslo burned almost completely down, and King Christian IV of denmark desided to rebuild Oslo and call it Christiania. Ever since Oslo has been the capital and was renamed Oslo in 1925
Norway and Sweden, plus the northern part of Finland.

Native language is Norwegian and supports two official sets of written forms; Nynorsk and Bokmål. Nynorsk being a collected form of dialect that supports regions that does not speak bokmål. The sami language is also spoken.
Answer
Our 1st language is Norwegian, our 2nd is English, and the most common 3rd is Spanish or French
Norwegians generally speaks Norwegian (and a few speaks Sami), there are two written forms of Norwegian; Bokmål and Nynorsk.
Mostly Norwegian, in several varieties.
There are also a number of small communities of Lapps. Not all of these are in, or even close to, Lapland; to my knowledge some are on the Hardangervidda, and at least two are south of it. These speak the Lap language.
Answer
Northern Sami, Lule Sami, Kven and Southern Sami are recognized as regional languages.
Norwegian, two versions: New-Norwegian (Nynorsk), Dano-Norwegian (Bokmål). We also have some minority languages which I think counts, like the language of the Lapps.
Answer
People speak various Norwegian dialects in Norway, but there are two main official written languages: Bokmål and Nynorsk. As written languages go, Bokmål is the more widespread and more literarily accomplished of the two (and what you'd normally learn if you were to set about learning Norwegian, especially in the "standard østnorsk" or Standard East Norwegian variety spoken in Oslo and much of the east); it is heavily influenced by Danish because Norway was for a long time under Danish rule, and Danish was the standard written language in Norway from the 16th to the 19th centuries.
Another official language even closer to Danish is Riksmål, but it is not as commonly used. Nynorsk is a revivalist-type written language that is based on the Norwegian of the western coastal and mountain dialects, that are much more conservative and more genuinely Norwegian than Bokmål. However its writers are far fewer than those of Bokmål and it has a much smaller literature, having only become a written language I believe in the 19th century. However as a spoken language, dialects similar to Nynorsk are the most numerous, thus one could say that Nynorsk is the most common spoken form of Norwegian. Another written variety of Nynorsk is Høgnorsk, a more purist variety.
Answer
Norwegian, but we have a wide variety of dialects. I live in the south and can't undertand many of the dialects only a few miles from my town.
The sami language has also been granted the status of being an official norwegian language, as there are a small population of Samis living in the far north of Norway. However, these languages are not actually related.
The written language is more interesting. We have (in addition to sami) two written languages; New norwegian and "bokmål"/literary language. New norwegian is based on how the people actually talk, and bokmål is the norwegianized form of the danish written when denmark rules over norway. The odd thing is, that the danish inspired language (bokmål) now is used by 85-90% of the people. Most have turned on the written language closest to their everyday language.
Answer
We have two! Both bokmål and nynorsk. Bokmål is the most used written language, so you can say it's the most common. But public people are obligated to answer a letter written in nynorsk with nynorsk, even if they only use bokmål.
It's not a big difference between bokmål and nynorsk, they are not even different languages, more like accent's. Bokmål came to Norway when we were in union with Denmark, and can remind you of danish. Both danish and Norwegians understand each other well, but you can notice the difference. Nynorsk came around about the same time (before this we spoke riksmaal which it's practically the same as danish) but this accent is a mix of most of the accent's in Norway. A man named Ivar Aasen traveled around Norway to collect it, you can probably search him up on Wikipedia, and he is both hated and loved in Norway today by school kids (some of them hate that they haft to learn both the written languages).
Just to mention, none of these are really spoken in Norway. We speak with very different accent's which is quite practical because you can instantly hear from where in Norway that person is from (accent's is called "dialekter" in Norway). But if I haft to choose I would say that "østlandsk" is most similar to bokmål, and "døling" is most similar to nynorsk. But as I mentioned earlier, no one really speaks bokmål and nynorsk.
Answer
There are two written languages in Norway, "Bokmål" and "Nynorsk".
They are very similar, but are used in different parts of the country. Bokmål is most commonly used while Nynorsk is, for most people, associated with the west part of the country. These are written languages though, not spoken, and every Norwegian, regardless of which written version they use, speak "norsk" (Norwegian).
