By the way, the sunrise and sunset times in the world change throughout the year.

Yes, the sun doesn’t really set in these areas for weeks or months, the light just dims.

This region belongs to Sweden and Norway, which is close to the North Pole, due to which the sun does not set for several weeks or months in different parts of these countries in summer.
