For example, Vienna is also called the City of Music; Paris, France is also called the Capital of Flowers; Haikou is called Coconut City; and Munich, Germany, which is known as the Wine City... So do you know what the Midnight Sun Nation is another name for? Today we will talk about this "midnight sun country".
The country known as the Midnight Sun Nation is Norway, located in the western part of Navia. Because here you can see the phenomenon that the sun doesn't set until 12 p.m., Norway is known as the "Midnight Sun Country". Norway's coastline is long and winding, with 150,000 islands along its coast, also known as the "country of ten thousand islands", and its territory borders Sweden, Finland and Russia.
The word Norwegian appeared around the 9th century and means "road to the north". Norway is a magical country, why do you say that? Since Norway is the country with the highest mid-latitude in Europe, it is prone to polar day and night. In Norway in summer, there are polar days of up to 3 months, while in Norway in winter there are up to 3 months of polar nights. At the end of the day, the sky is always bright, and at the end of the night, the sky is always dark. And 1/3 of Norway's territory is within the Arctic Circle.
The oil industry is the most important industry in Norway and plays an immeasurable role in the Norwegian national economy. Norway is the world's third largest exporter of natural gas and the eleventh largest exporter of oil. At the same time, Norway is one of the top 10 countries in the world in terms of happiness and the top 10 countries in the safety index, and Norway also has the most brilliant aurora.
The aurora borealis is a natural phenomenon. The occurrence of the Earth's aurora is a brilliant and colorful plasma phenomenon produced by the excited molecules or atoms in the upper atmosphere by the flow of high-energy charged particles from the Earth's magnetosphere or the Sun. The entire northern region of Norway is located within the aurora zone, so the chance of seeing the aurora is high. When you see the aurora, it's like swimming in a fairy tale world, you will sigh this fantastic scene, maybe once in your life it will be worth it.
The midnight sun is also called polar day, and as the name suggests, it is bright all day long. Is the phenomenon that the length of the day equals 24 hours, while the sun is above the horizon in one day. So, what is the reason for the polar day phenomenon on Earth? It turns out that the Earth's orbit around the Sun is an ellipse, and the Sun is at the focal point of this ellipse. Since the earth also has a rotating orbit, and it rotates around the sun in an oblique direction, then the earth's axis of rotation has an angle with the arc of the rotation plane around the sun, and this angle is unchanged during the movement, and it is precisely because of the existence of this angle that the earth will appear polar day phenomenon.
In fact, in addition to those European countries that can see the polar day, the mohe river at the northernmost point of the continent can also see the polar day. At the same time, Mohe is also known as China's Arctic Village. Here, in addition to the brilliant and colorful auroras, you can see them. We can also see the polar day phenomenon. This is also the reason why Mohe is called the "city that never sleeps".
At the time of the summer solstice, the Mohe River produces polar days with long days and short nights. This is because the Mohe River is located at a higher latitude. During the extreme day, even at 10 p.m., it is still bright and people can perform normal activities, including writing and eating. At 1 to 2 o'clock after midnight, the sky will only be dark for a short time before it starts to shine again. And the strange sight of the morning glow and the sunset glow appearing in the same sky at this time will also make you fascinated.
