that would seriously mess with my head. seeing the sun constantly in the sky for nearly three months. how could i get to sleep. must need thick curtains to block out the light

[@paull2937]

Even though Troms🚫 is north of the Arctic Circle, Florida, USA once has recorded a lower temperature than Troms🚫’s record low temperature.

WHAT

[@guillyfreeways2007]

Between early April and early September, it doesn't get fully dark all summer long. At the summer solstice, annually on June 21st, the sun is actually 22 degrees above the horizon at 1:45 in the morning.

[@s4nder86]

False information. On the summer solstice the sun is at 22° at around 6:45 in the morning. At 1:45 it's at 4°.

[@reddwarfer999]

Perhaps you are thinking of the North Pole? At the summer solstice the sun is 22.5 degrees above the horizon but stays at that height all 'day' before gradually spiralling down to the horizon by the autumn equinox.

[@RubiksGameFan]

@@reddwarfer999 23.4 degrees*

[@tomjenkins8307]

cool video. This would drive me absolutely crazy i think. So little daytime in winter and then 100% daytime from end of May till end of July. Even then, there was hardly any sunshine in that time

[@RubiksGameFan]

There is no daytime during December solstice in Tromso as its latitude is around +69.6°.

[@datagata4796]

i consider the sky to be completely dark at astronomical twilight

[@Mrmakeyoumad]

Then again, in late autumn google says that astronomical twilight ends at 6:30 but the sky gets dark at like 5:40

[@datagata4796]

the sun goes down around the end of july

[@Cjxd-ws1kn]

The sun is up middle of may-early August

[@dabaws99]

Nope it is upp all summer. But it can depen on the camera

[@lilsweezy71]

the sun goes down on august 6th

[@laiyemoboys9255]

July 26, the sun goes down.

Your Video is ABSOLUTE AMAZING!!! I've seen it now for several times and everytime it moves me... I am from austria and never had seen this in real. But the day will come that I see it with my own eyes! Thank you for this wonderful video! Please take care! Best wishes, Marcus.

Thank you Ategra, it's heplful. I'm going actually at the end of Nov returning beginning of Dec. I'm just hoping to get clear skies to experience the Northern Lights (among other things...) Tusen takk! ;)

Am I the only one that lives in Tromsø? Who else lives in Tromsø?

Yoooooo we are brothers I live in Tromsø too

[@josefharasek3502]

like 70000 people?

[@Cjxd-ws1kn]

I don’t but it will be cool living there or living in svalbard

[@Pining_for_the_fjords]

I'm a Brit living in Olsborg, around 100km south of Tromsø.

[@leonardozanaga2950]

I couldn’t live in Tromsø!! In December there isn’t light at al and in June the Sun doesn’t go down! I’ll stay here in Italy

[@willmill7867]

Even at the end of April you can still see a bit of light at midnight

[@willmill7867]

The twilight is much longer in tromso

[@Cjxd-ws1kn]

And around late July or early August the sun goes back down

[@InvertedAlex]

Yeah somehow 10 year old me found out that the axis was the cause of the longer twilight because of the angle the sun rises and sets at

[@Nicojs118]

I'm going to Tromsø in Dec (1-3) this year...does anyone know at what time there is a bit of a twilight/day light in the morning and again at what time does it get pitch black? Your video is really interesting but I've noticed the weather being exclusively overcast and grey at all time (a part from a few rare occasions). Is the weather really that bad in terms of clarity of sky? I know it's not as cold as Canada in winter. Great job!!

[@vekteren3549]

Yes

[@BFDIrussian]

weather.cs.uit.no/video/2010/08/201008-medium.mp4 watch this video to the end and see what has changed

[@RubiksGameFan]

Nope, the sun will be below the horizon for all of December.

[@bensmith2951]

At 5:13 it’s the summer solstice

Polar night 27 November to 15 january Polar Day 18 May to 26 july

[@Mrmakeyoumad]

There is no "polar day" its called midnight sun

[@BFDIrussian]

@@Mrmakeyoumad this is my friend he calls the polar day so there are no mistakes and by the way he no longer climbs on KZbin he has a new account so do not answer

And yet we complain about the street lamps not turning off in the winter even at noon because the sun doesn't go as high in Germany.

you could just mute it !!

[@Mrmakeyoumad]

Awful music? Its a classic

[@LifeWithShawn2024]

The music and Timelapse matched perfectly as the sun moves across the sky getting higher toward Simms and darker toward winter

[@stanislav7411]

music name?

[@Esterified80]

Perfect choice of music

Awesome video! The music fits it so well :)

December & January is polar night February is when the sun comes back out March is half day half night April is when you see a little blue at night may-July sun is out 24 hours August is when the nights come back September half day half night October is when the suns on the horizon of the mountains November is when the sun comes back down till February

[@Cjxd-ws1kn]

And that’s 1 year in tromso Norway 🇳🇴

[@Mrmakeyoumad]

January 14 is the rise of the sun but its for a short time

[@datagata4796]

in tromso on winter solstice at solar noon is the sun altitude -2.3 dergees

[@guillyfreeways2007]

6:30 the 2006 midnight sun series will end soon

[@bensmith2951]

Yes after the June (summer) solstice the days slowly start to get shorter, so it would make sense by late July/early August you’ll began to notice it, however this isn’t the case in the Southern Hemisphere the reverse happens, but spoiler alert it’s not actually summer in July/August in the Southern Hemisphere because the fact that whatever happens in the Northern Hemisphere the exact opposite happens in the Southern Hemisphere, the process is the same but in reverse, so you would be dealing with winter all over again However the earliest sunrise and the latest sunset isn’t on the longest day of the year as you expect it to because solar days aren’t exactly 24 hours long, the reverse is true with the shortest day of the year where it doesn’t have the latest sunrise and the earliest sunset as you would expect it to be

[@evertonporter7887]

Imagine having a time machine and seeing all this over a year within ten minutes.

[@DanielsArtStudioGamesAnimation]

This is great! I just wish that there were more recent versions of these.

I dare you all as academic people to make FULL timelapse of midnight sun with multiple camcoders (4 or 5). So far I doubted with partly timelapses. (I'm for CCW sun path on south pole centered FE)

This video won't play. You get the first scene, but then it doesn't do anything. The ball at the bottom doesn't move no matter what I do to it.

that's the idea of a timelapse

You can slowdown the video if you get motion sickness
