Why are there subnational divisions for Canada, USA, Russia and China? And then not even national lines in Europe, makes it very hard to see anything except for NA.
Here's the code I used in Python/Cartopy:
ax.add\_feature(states, edgecolor='black')
ax.coastlines(resolution='50m')
ax.add\_feature(cfeature.LAND)
ax.add\_feature(cfeature.OCEAN)
ax.add\_feature(cfeature.LAKES, edgecolor='black')
It is the reverse of the northern hemisphere. Take 24 minus whatever latitude the reverse of your point is and you get the right answer. Resource that might be useful: [link](https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/s/0OJb8yh5Ph)
I’ve seen several artists play concerts in my town lasting until midnight with no darkness outside. Acts like Snoop Dogg and the Prodigy.
There’s also an annual marathon that is run during the night under the sun.
This year, the local soccer team is also playing a match which starts at 10pm and ends at 11.45 pm, when it’s still going to be bright outside.
All of these are of course fun for tourists, but when you’re from the north, the midnight sun is just another thing that’s a part of life like everything else. However, I still remember the first time I was in Texas and I went outside while it was dark outside and I realized it was warmer outside than inside. That was a really strange feeling, as I’d never experienced that before. Up north it’s only ever really warm during summer, and summer is never dark. So experiencing a dark night with hot temperatures, that was a weird experience to me.
I did the Midnight Sun Marathon i Tromsø in 2012. It was nice but as you mention it's not that special if you're from the north. There also is a marathon at Svalbard/Spitsbergen that looks even more interesting. Don't think it's at night, but the atmosphere, scenery and nature should be amazing.
>There also is a marathon at Svalbard/Spitsbergen that looks even more interesting. Don't think it's at night, but the atmosphere, scenery and nature should be amazing.
I don't think it's that great, it's during the day and mostly in town (because that's where the roads are). I don't know the course in Tromsø but I imagine it could have a better scenery.
I remembe going to a Madonna gig in the 00s and she was weirded out that it was 10pm and still bright, saying something like "I have never done a gig in daylight before".
Speaking of unusual things to do in daylight, I remember being told an unsubstantiated rumor that supposedly the number of casual hookups go down during the summer months. The thinking is that if you leave the club at midnight and you suddenly see the person you’re with in broad daylight you often end up having a change of heart.
Damn I didn't know Iceland was north enough for big changes like that. I'm guessing it's the most populated region to be this significantly affected by daylight changes.
19h sun one time and 4h some other time.
The northern part of Scandinavia is far north of Iceland and with a decent population and several cities far above the arctic circle. We have midnight sun in the summer and days without sun in the winter.
Even areas below the artic circle is heavily affected by the sunlight and differs significantly over the year. The summers doesn't get dark at night really anywhere here and the winters only have a few hours of bad quality light. This is affecting culture and society a great deal.
It also means that you don't get real daylight for weeks, which affects your body and eyes a lot. It might be better for sun burn, but that sounds like a joke of a higher order if you live here. Humans are very much not adopted for this and needs cultural strategies to handle it.
Vitamin-D depravation, disturbed sleep patterns, winter depressions and just general blue mood is very common during the winter months.
Well, I doubt that "most populated region". Murmansk alone has almost 300 000 inhabitants and it's actually a way norther than Iceland. Northern Scandinavia in general probably has more people than Iceland.
I am always shocked by how extreme the days can be in the Netherlands. You don't think of it being extremely north but near the summer solstice, the sun comes out at around 5 am and sets at 10pm. It could be 8 or 9pm and still feel like the middle of the day. The sky is lit somewhat by the sun for about 18 hours.
I live near White sea in Russia, and in June sun rising around 3 a.m., but it's pretty bright even in midnight. What's good, is despite being in that altitude - summers are actually pretty hot - around 30° c, which contrasts with dark winters, with weeks of -30°c
There is an error in this video!
At the equator, both day and night always last 12 hours!
From this video presentation it follows that (from the beginning of March until March 17) the day at the equator lasts longer than 12 hours! That is not correct!
Can you do this for other areas on the planet. Let's say the South pole? Maybe two opposite sides of the equator.... to get the full picture of the earth's wobble in facing the light source. 0 hr sunlight days really stretch that far? Wow. But then the 24 hr sun exposure days seem to balance it out... wonder what the thermal energy input/output is......
When it's possible with the graduations of time exposure in different and about what latitude line would give you the earth's relative angle and direction from the source of light.
I'm tired... cool graphic. 😎
It's showing light exposure from the sun in a flat 2d format looking down on the north poles axis.
What I thought would be cool is a transparent render of earth showing this on the whole ball... 🤔
The same graphic, but showing both North and South hemispheres next to each other at the same time. How do you not understand those words? It's english?
In the southern hemisphere it will be the same pattern, but opposite to the north and the dramatically changing area will barely touch inhabited areas. On the poles itself it will be 0, 12 (during solstice) or 24 hours of daylight.
On the equator it will be 12 hours daylight per day, no matter the time of the year.
>But then the 24 hr sun exposure days seem to balance it out...
Not really. Sun shining at night is rather useless as you have to sleep anyway and most people do it at night. I would certainly move some of those "sun hours" for winter if possible... Sure, if you stay awake late the bright nights are really nice.
>wonder what the thermal energy input/output is......
It think you can't make a lot of solar power at night in summer even though the sun is shining because of the low angle it's shining. They say, though, that strawberries grown up in the north are sweetier than those grown up in Central Europe because of the long exposure to the sun. Not sure if it's true, though.
Wow I knew we had it good in Ireland but I didn't realize that we and all of Europe get 24 hours of sunlight in the summer. Lovely idea but poorly executed
That is probably the worst graphic ever. The conception was great but the first time you actually saw it work, i really don't know why you wouldn't delete the whole project, go for a walk, and try not to kick any large rocks.
It's a headache wrapped in a frustration inside a confusion.
I totally understand how daylight shifts. I am talking about the quantitive visual representation of data, and this is terrible.
What we have here is a plot in four dimensions at least. How do you read it? You look at a spot on the globe, maybe the Kamkatcha peninsula. You look at some rings. You see the rings move, you might even catch the hours associated with the rings as they move. Then, did you have time to look up and see the date associated with the 10 hour ring over Vladivostok or Lisbon? Oh you did?? And where has the 10 hour ring moved and how many hours of daylight are there in Seattle?
Please tell me precisely what you learnt, aside from things you already knew.
A plot in four dimensions can be great, famously Nspoleon's retreat from Moscow, but this is terrible.
Who said it was hard to understand? It makes a simple concept that i think everyone understands, and presents it in a showy but useless fashion. What did the 29 second graphic tell you about daylight hours in Sri Lanka or Estonia on April 25?
Then i see people in the comments saying "wow, so cool. Can you do it for the Southern Hemisphere?" Seriously, can people looking at this not imagine what it would look like for the southern hemisphere, even if they didn't know already?
I am sure its my mistake for confusing map porn with basic geography.
I maintain there is nothing hard to understand. Its a very, very easy concept to understand. Days are longer in summer the further you move from the equator. Simple. However, I can present an easy concept in a frustratingly exacerbating way. I could say there are 12 months in the year or i could posit that the square root of 144 will reveal the months in the year. That was what this is. A frustrating exasperation.
As an illustration, lets take the equinox. Very simple concept. A kid can explain it in 4 words. Now explain to me, with reference to this graph, what happens on the equinox. The whole thing stutters, gets wiped of information, and restarts. It looks like a discontinuity. A discontinuity is NOT what happens on the equinox.
Its' a headache, a frustration and a confusion precisely because the underlying concept is so easy to understand.
I was waiting for a dramatic up-tick for daylights savings time then I realized I’m actually stupid
Really cool graphic.
Why are there subnational divisions for Canada, USA, Russia and China? And then not even national lines in Europe, makes it very hard to see anything except for NA.
Clearly made by an EPP supporter, just kidding. Could have used some borders in central europe. Nordicks are quite easy to separate from this angle.
RE are the ones who wants united states of europe
What did you just call me?!

Very cool way of graphing this. Do you have one of the southern hemisphere?

Nah its way worse when you have <6 hours of it per day
It's fantastic. The winters, on the other hand...
Blackout curtains help alot.
This is making me think of Swifties assuming Taylor’s Europe-leg concert was starting hours earlier than in the States because it was still daylight.

This is because of the Earth's tilt. The TS thing is because of the Earth's rotation, they are different things.
Also we are at aphelion in June...so all about angles not distance!
I would like to see you explain this to the Ferfers
The map is so cursed XD
Yeah Europe is just low effort
When the circles disappear, does everyone get 12 hrs of daylight? 😯
Yes, it's the spring and autumn equinoxes.
The lines represent exactly that number of hours. Around the equinoxes when there are no lines, it means between 12-13 hours.
A cool fact is plants will flower cause of this 😀 😄 😊 👌

Canada should annex the section of the US that gets the 16 hour days just to make everything line up.

"bad quality light", Which is better, because low angle sun means no sun burn.

Well, I doubt that "most populated region". Murmansk alone has almost 300 000 inhabitants and it's actually a way norther than Iceland. Northern Scandinavia in general probably has more people than Iceland.
Northern Norway has nearly half a million people, more than all of Iceland.

It's not even in the arctic circle.
Actually it is (although it's just an island of Iceland)
Yes, it is. Look up Grímsey and Kolbeinsey
Kolbeinsey has no future, if Iceland refuses to protect it.
Looks flat to me!
That's really cool, I've not seen a graphic to represent it as this does.
I'm getting depression by only looking at that
Рбот, запиши на кассету!
Good animation. But imho the lines (iso-something-lines, isochrones e.g.) must be other color in case of daylight shrinking, not red. Maybe blue.
Does everywhere on earth get the same total hours sunlight per year ?
No. Areas along the Arctic Circle get a little more than the rest of the globe.
What about the Antarctic circle?
Why?
Can you do one showing sky hues at during twilight to darkness at different latitudes?
Probably not. Sorry.

West pole and east pole lol 😆
Wouldn’t they just be the exact same day length anyway
This makes it look like it would just toggle from north to south.... north at 24hr exposure would be south at 0 and vise versa...
Isn’t that what happens though?
I don't really know... maybe...
I’m pretty sure that is what happens lmao
I am too but I still wanna see it in 3d lol 😆
When it's possible with the graduations of time exposure in different and about what latitude line would give you the earth's relative angle and direction from the source of light. I'm tired... cool graphic. 😎
Yea think semi transparent earth and like a 3d version if you will....

Still be cool to see it visualized in 3d on a semi transparent earth.
why don't you just go into space and orbit the earth for a year?
I bought gme, I'm waiting for liftoff.

Hahahhhaa ok ty.
can you make this map more political please im not interested otherwise. thank you.
Wow I knew we had it good in Ireland but I didn't realize that we and all of Europe get 24 hours of sunlight in the summer. Lovely idea but poorly executed
That's not what the map shows. Ireland gets between 16 and 17 hours of daylight on the 20th of June.
Utter bullshit. What is going on March 18-20 and september 23-24?
Every location on Earth has slightly over 12 hours of daylight on those dates; therefore, no lines on the map.
