June 30, 200223 yr ...that all depends on the time of year and the earth's tilt towards/away from the sun at the poles. It also depends somewhat on your Latitude. Ray S. Check out my aviation portfolio: http://scottshangar.net
June 30, 200223 yr Not quite sure what you mean. The sun only goes down at due west (270 degrees)on the autumnal and vernal equinox, and then only at the equator. At other times of the year, it sets north (summer) or south (winterO of due west. Bob

Errr, you got that a bit wrong Alastair :) Last time I looked out of the computer room window (don't do it often what with flying around the world and all) the sun was still setting well to the northwest here in England.

July 2, 200223 yr You could come to scandinavia and spend some time above the polar circle. Where the sun NEVER sets during summer.I'm going up to Kiruna (Sweden) next week and not only is the weather better up there than further south in sweden, we also have "golden", velvet smooth nights.And no mosquitos. I say again, NO MOSQUITOS! :-)To stay on topic: do a take-off from, say, Narvik in Norway or Kiruna and set date to june, july and midnight. Enjoy. Not only do you get midnight sun, you might see some northern lights too!/petern
