Question

Barrow, Alaska is located at the very north end of Alaska. In the Summer time (July), the city experiences full day light all day and night long! Why would Barrow, Alaska not have a night time in the Summer?

Answer 1

Barrow, Alaska does not have a night time in the summer because it is located above the Arctic Circle. This means that during the summer solstice, which occurs around June 21st, the sun remains above the horizon for 24 hours a day. This phenomenon is known as the "midnight sun."
