The term "midnight sun" refers to a phenomenon that occurs in the summer months in polar regions, where the sun remains visible at local midnight. This occurs in areas above the Arctic Circle (latitude 66.5 degrees north) and below the Antarctic Circle (latitude 66.5 degrees south). During this time, from late spring to early autumn, the tilt of the Earth's axis allows the sun to stay above the horizon for 24 hours a day, leading to continuous daylight.
