Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Areas located above 66.5° latitude, also known as the Arctic and Antarctic circles, experience 24 hours of daylight for six months during summer solstice and 24 hours of night for six months during winter solstice. This is due to the tilt of Earth's axis and the way it affects the angle at which sunlight reaches different parts of the planet throughout the year.
