On June 21, the Arctic Circle experiences the summer solstice, resulting in 24 hours of continuous daylight known as the "Midnight Sun," as the sun does not set. Conversely, on December 23, the region undergoes the winter solstice, leading to 24 hours of darkness known as polar night, where the sun does not rise above the horizon. These phenomena are due to the tilt of the Earth's axis relative to its orbit around the sun.
