Yöttömäns

Yöttömäns is a term that refers to a prolonged period of daylight experienced in the polar regions during the summer months. This phenomenon is also commonly known as the midnight sun. Essentially, the Earth's axial tilt, which is approximately 23.5 degrees, causes certain parts of the planet to receive continuous sunlight for extended durations when they are tilted towards the sun. The further north or south one travels from the equator, the longer the period of yöttömäns lasts. At the Arctic Circle and the Antarctic Circle, the sun will not set for approximately 24 hours around the summer solstice. As one moves towards the poles, this period of continuous daylight extends further, reaching six months at the geographic North Pole and South Pole. Conversely, during the winter months in these same regions, a similar phenomenon called polar night occurs, where the sun remains below the horizon for extended periods. Yöttömäns has significant impacts on the environment, flora, and fauna of these regions, influencing everything from plant growth cycles to animal migration patterns. Human activities, such as tourism and research, are also heavily influenced by the presence or absence of daylight.
