During the summer solstice, the Arctic Circle experiences nearly 24 hours of sunlight. This is because the Earth's axis is tilted towards the sun, causing the sun to appear higher in the sky and remain visible for longer periods of time. The period of continuous daylight can vary depending on the exact location within the Arctic Circle, with some areas experiencing up to several weeks of constant sunlight.
