Its not always dark in Alaska. Below I have attached the month and how many hours of light we get during that month. What affects this though, is Alaska's location on the globe. It is tilted tword the sun part of the year and away from the sun the other part.

Jan - 7.0 hours

Feb - 9.1 hours

Mar - 11.8 hours

Apr - 14.7 hours

May - 17.5 hours

June - 19.5 hours

July - 18.5 hours

Aug - 15.8 hours

Sep - 13.0 hours

Oct - 10.1 hours

Nov - 7.2 hours

Dec - 5.5 hours

This does not change over night when the month changes though. It changes a few minutes every night.

--------------------------------------------------------

It should be noted that the amount of daylight/nighttime hours does vary depending on each location's proximity and relativity to the Arctic Circle. Some parts of Alaska, in fact, have a full 24 hours of daylight for up-to 85 consecutive days each year.

One day consists of twenty four hours. The twenty four hour period is divided into two halves. These halves are called night and day. Day and night each consist of twelve hours each.

Yes. The reason Alaska has 6 months in the day and night, is because the Earth's axis is tilted. Meaning that Alaska is in the North and in the spring and summer it will point at the sun. In the winter and fall, the sun will point to the opposite way from the sun.

The earth gets it's light from the sun. During a total solar eclipse, the moon blocks that light.

according to timeanddate.com 6:37 PM, and just FYI, sunrise is at 6:57 AM

it is different on each time of the year. at the summer it is light and sun day and night. at the spring it is dark from about 10-11 at the evening to 5-6 at the night. at the autumm there is dark from 7-8 at the morning to 9-10 at the evening. at the winter it is dark from 8-10 at the morning to 3-4 at the afternoon. remember to have in mind that Norway is a long country and there can be small differenses in different parts of Norway. I live in Lofoten and wrote how it is here.

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.

It occurs in March, currently on March 20 each year.

(the same date is the "vernal equinox" in the Northern Hemisphere)

Your Zodiac sign would be a Virgo.

(Aug. 23-Sept. 23)

It depends entirely on latitude as well as day of year. Everywhere, daylight changes faster closer to the equinox, and slower close to the solstice. If you're in the mid-latitudes, they're probably changing 1-2 minutes each on average.
