Answer» In the polar regions, the MIDNIGHT sun occurs due to the angle of the PLANET in polar summer. During the polar summer, one particular pole of the planet is pointed towards the sun at an acute angle. This angle PREVENTS the region from falling into shadow as the EARTH TURNS, hence no night time.
