    How night and day work above the Arctic Circle.

    Movies and TV and stories talk about how there’s 6 months of daylight and 6 months of darkness. That does not fucking happen. This is still part of storytelling to this day (I’m looking at you, Sweet Tooth season 3).

    Days get stupidly long in the summer, and there’s a while where the sun really doesn’t go down. in the Winter days get stupidly short, and there’s a while where it doesn’t really come up all that much. But it’s not 6 months of one and 6 months of the other.

    (edited for clarity)

      (I’m looking at you, Sweet Tooth season 3).

      Tell me about it. And sunsets aren’t from a bright day to a dark night. During winter “days” are permanent twilight, the sun being very very low all the time it’s above the horizon, and during the summer, “nights” are dim because the sun is never that far below the horizon.

      Sweet Tooth had pretty much a countdown iirc. And then it went from 100% daylight to complete darkness in seconds.

      edit also i’m annoyed when people don’t wear hats in the cold but iirc in Sweet Tooth they had pretty good winterclothing most of the time idk.

      Half year day, half year night only really holds on the poles I guess. And it goes paired with a long twilight in between.
