The limits of 24-hour sunlight and 24-hour darkness extend
approximately 50 nautical miles north and south of the
Arctic Circle. This is due to the "radius" of the solar
disk and the effects of refraction of light. Along the
Arctic Circle, half the solar disk remains visible on
the northern horizon at sunset on the longest day, and
half the solar disk appears on the southern horizon during
the shortest day.
