1.
Norway is called the ‘Country of the Midnight Sun’. Give reason.
Answer»
Norway is located in the Northern Hemisphere of the earth.
The Northern Hemisphere experiences summer between 21 March to 23 September.
During this period, the sun never sets near the Arctic Circle between mid May to the end of July.
During this period, as soon as the sun sets, it rises again near the Arctic Circle.
The sun is seen even at 12 o’clock in the night in such locations.
Norway is one such country that faces this situation.
Hence, it is called the ‘Country of the Midnight Sun’.
