Longyearbyen is so far up North that the sun doesnt even give the “Golden Hour” effect because even at midnight it is still quite high up above horizon. quite spectacular and very few places in the world where one can experience this
Yes. The sun dosen't go below than 6° during midnight, buttt the sun dosen't go above -6° during winters in high noon, light is only visible between 9 am and 2 pm,only a tiny bit unless if its cloudy its gonna be dark.but since Longyearbyen is so north its super cold and its mostly cloudy, and it snows alot in December blocking sunlight so its safe to say even though the sun doesn't enter golden hour in the summer. It dosen't exit the dark hour in the winter
In midwinter the sun doesn't get above -11.7 deg. at noon, it just barely makes nautical twilight (11AM-1PM). Likewise, in midsummer it doesn't dip below 11.7 deg. at midnight.
It's basically pitch black all day. Even under perfect conditions on the winter solstice, the solar altitude at the solar noon is approximately -13 degrees (as they are 13 degrees further north in latitude to the arctic circle). Therefore, only astronomical twilight during a few weeks around the winter solstice, and varying stages of twilight between late October and mid-February. Bright for 4 months straight and then basically dark for 4 months straight!
@@accelerationvirgulepetit yes just checked on timeanddate and calculations were off… it gets very close, but longyearbyen isn’t quite far enough north to have only astronomical twilight during the day.
@@samuelatienzo4627 Plus it's stil light out until Civil Dusk, and the last Civil Dusk is in mid November, so it's only 2.5 months of it never being light out, but it's not always dark the whole time either because Nautical Twilight ranges from not light out but not dark at all either at the brightest to almost dark at the darkest.
Let me offer an explanation for this. The Solstice summer noon sun angle is dependent on the actual latitude and whether the location is above or below the Arctic circle. Since Longyearbyen is essentially 12 degrees above the Arctic circle, it makes sense that at noon on Dec 21st the sun would reach a maximum of -12 degrees below the horizon at noon on that date. Therefore in summer solstice the sun angle at noon is not nearly as high as mid latitudes in Longyearbyen.
Basically, unlike mid latitudes where the sun always rises above the horizon even on the shortest day, in high latitudes above the Arctic circle (66 degrees) there are periods in mid winter which it doesn't. This is compensated for by a shallower solstice noon angle in the summer. The degree of which depends on how far north of the Arctic circle a place is.
@@gamezvideos2 doesn't really prove that it is not. It could be "round plain" with the continents going around the north pole with only water/sea under. :D
@@VanDerLaars The flat earth plane would contain a small localized sun with the equator at its zenith, with constant 12-hour days. If it were real, the sun would just appear smaller in the north, without midnight sun.
So fantastic how the sun moves round through 360 degrees, like going round the edge of a plate. I’ve been to North Cale but would love to go to Spitsbergen.
From the time of my childhood, I have suffered from Nyctophobia (fear of darkness/night). As an adult, my fear is not as severe but my power bill will indicate that I am still not fond of the dark. Ahem, anyway, Svalbard would be the best place during the summer. It would turn my nightmares into simple dreams....or make my insomnia worse!
One thing I noticed about the Midnight Sun phenomenon is that (even without the timer or looking at the sun), you can actually (and easily) notice that activity around the camera was reduced over time until 0:35, where almost no one can be seen walking/driving. Still an interesting phenomena.
Fascinating! Ty for posting this! Apart from modern clocks and analog clocks, how would natives to the area keep track of days/hours/seasons? Just out of curiosity.
Wouldn’t want to live there but I’m only saying that because I’m an astronomer once the sun gets to high I won’t be able to do astronomy for months which means only certain amount of times during my lifetime but would be fun to visit I just wish the northernmost airport was located a bit higher so it would be pitch dark all night and not go above -18 degrees in the winter.
@@pataudi8025 The arctic circle is defined as the latitude where the sun doesn't go below the horizon on the summer solstice, which is at around 66.5 degrees. Anywhere here or above will see the midnight sun, and the further north you go the longer the light period will last. But I believe you can see midnight twilight on the summer solstice from around 60 or 61 degrees.
They still won't believe you with this kind of proof school and govern/mental mind controllers have taken our their minds now they walk around with a mask on looking like retards
The pandemic is a scam. Wear a mask, stay indoors. If you get really sick? Come to hospital and breath oxygen. If you are luck you will live. Unlucky? You will breath oxygen until you die. Yet not one bit of advice on treating inflammation or chest/lung infections using citrus, vitamin C, D or available medicine.

A flat earther sent this to me as a solid proof for the flat earth 😂. I just replied great work man, because if you argue with a fool he will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
Good grief. The earth IS flat but this doesnt PROVE it. What proves it is there is no curvature and we have a horizon that ramps UP to your eye level and stays at eye level as you rise in altitude...that can ONLY happen on a flat plain earth. Cant happen on a ball any size. A ball earth would see a horizon below your eye level and would stay fixed as you ascend having to look further doiwn to the horizon (horizontal) as you rose.
@@karltaylor2857 Ignoring the fact of how absurd your Explanation is...I'd like to say the same thing that I told the other flat earther.. "Great work man"

Wow!!! idea of this video is WONDERFUL!Great job!Thank you!
One of the reasons I love living here. You always have summer daylight to get things done
What about the other half of the year?
Do people generally stick to a 24 hour rhythm in the summer?
Winter joined the chat.
Am planning for this December and I wud like to know more
The problem is when you hit winter you get all depressed because the body needs sunlight.
I went there in DECEMBER... when the sun was down the whole day!! Would love to go back there sometime but in June, to see this.
thanks for sharing this great place for hiking and very relaxing view keep safe stay fit godless always.
Thank you for posting this👍🏾

Midnight Sun Is Cool, But What About Polar Night
FelixPlaysMinecraft it’s still a faint Nautical Twilight at solar noon in the winter though
It's a very beautiful image!
Is it okay to use part of this video on Japanese local TV?

You take a nap and wake up and really have no idea what time it is

Until the other 6 months when it's dark
I was quite scared of the dark until I got into astronomy

0:39 is that midnight?
I don't know the exact point of midnight, but yes it is around the 0:39 mark.
I was thinking that this is so too. The sun is at its lowest position in the sky from that perspective.
0:38 is midnight. The sun might look like its entering golden hour but it's still up
thx
do all the shops stay open 24/7 there?
No, everyone sleeps at night as usual. We just use black curtains to make it dark inside our homes

Is sun runing fast or video was edited to attract audience? I just want to know, not making any judgment, looks good however
It's edited. A full circle takes 24 hours.
Its a timelapse
Is it OK that I borrow this clip. What should I write to acknowledge your name.
Sun never set
I'd hate that so much. I wouldn't be able to sleep properly.
It would be better if you put the time somewhere
35° at noon and 12° at midnight.
Being an insomniac that desperately needs sleep, living there might suck
In winter it's 24 hours completely dark.

180
