Kirsten_alburg shared a short clip of the sunset on Instagram, the last sinking sun of the year . In this video he is heard saying that this is the last sunset of the year 2020 in Utqiagvik. In the caption of the video, he said that his eyes got wet as soon as he saw this moment.
Why does this happen? While studying in school, you may have noticed that the earth is tilted at its own level. Due to which the rays of the sun do not fall together on both its poles i.e. North Pole and South Pole. This is the reason why the North Pole has 6 months if living during the day while South Pole has night during that time.
Two months to pass without the sun Northpole is also called the Arctic Circle. While the Antarctic Circle to the South Pole. The city of Utqiagvik in Alaska falls in the Arctic Circle. Even so, owning one is still beyond the reach of the average person. So after November 18, the sun is not seen over this city. When the setting sun is now like this, day and night will remain the same. It is noteworthy that it is very cold in Utqiagvik till November. The temperature goes up to minus 23 degrees. At the same time, the visibility is very low.
