Guest guest Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 Hi Lin, yes, it is true that the farther away from the equator the less hours of sunlight per day in the winter months. The summer is the opposite. It is due to the tilt of the earth as it goes around the sun. My parents were in Iceland and it stayed light for 24 hours. The sun dips down but never sets. Weird huh?? They said that all of the hotels have thick black drapes on the windows so people can sleep. So it is basically six months of sun and six months of dark. I could not stand it!!!!!! Hope you are having a great day, Take care, Love Jai Thank you Jai, for helping to clarify my confusing way of putting it. Hope you have a good pain Friday, Lin No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
