The natural phenomenon where the sun remains visible at midnight in regions near the poles during summer.
在挪威的特罗姆瑟，夏天可以看到午夜阳光。
In Tromsø, Norway, you can see the midnight sun in summer.
Commonly associated with Arctic and Antarctic regions during their respective summers.
Remember that '午夜阳光' refers to continuous daylight, while '极夜' refers to continuous darkness. The two are opposites.
The term '午夜阳光' is only applicable in regions near the Arctic and Antarctic Circles during their respective summer seasons.
Composed of '午夜' (wǔ yè, 'midnight') and '阳光' (yáng guāng, 'sunlight'), literally meaning 'midnight sunlight'. The term reflects the phenomenon where the sun does not set below the horizon at midnight.
Primarily used in geographical and travel contexts to describe the phenomenon in polar regions. Not to be confused with '极夜' (polar night), which is the opposite phenomenon where the sun does not rise above the horizon.
