The question implies a situation where a country experiences a very short day, specifically 40 minutes of daylight. Based on the provided reference, this is not about a 40-minute day, but a situation where the sun sets for only 40 minutes.
The 40-Minute Night in Norway
- According to the reference, the phenomenon of a short sunset occurs in Norway.
- This occurs around June 21st.
- Due to the Earth's tilt, areas from 66 degrees north latitude to 90 degrees north latitude receive continuous sunlight.
- This results in the sun setting for only about 40 minutes in certain parts of Norway. This period is referred to as a short night, not a 40-minute day.
It is important to note:
- The reference clarifies that the area experiences almost continuous daylight.
- The "40 minutes" refers to how long the sun is below the horizon (sunset) not the actual daytime.
- Therefore, the question is misleading and should be reframed to ask about a short sunset period.
| Country | Phenomenon | Date | Duration | Geographic Area |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Norway | 40-minute sunset | Around June 21 | 40 min | 66°N to 90°N |
