Alaska is situated in the far north, close to the North pole. This puts it exceptionally close to the earths northernmost pivot, which carries it nearer to the sun when the earth slants one way, however a lot farther from when it slants the alternate way.

<h3>Why does Alaska have longer summer days and shorter winter days than we do in Texas?</h3>

Alaska commonly has truly lengthy days during certain seasons and truly brief days during others because of its area in the far north, close to the North Pole.

This puts it extremely close to the world's northernmost pivot, which carries it nearer to the sun when the earth slants one way, however a lot farther from it when it slants the alternate way.

Alaskan mid year days will generally be extremely lengthy thus, and in certain locales the sun never sets; in the colder time of year, however, it might never rise, or come up for a couple of hours all at once The greater part of the districts on the contrary side of the earth, down at the South Pole, experience fundamentally the same as occasional movements on a backwards plan.

At the point when Alaska is having long mid year days, Antarctica and the islands encompassing it normally experience the obscurity of winter, as well as the other way around.

Therefore during these times that the land in the northern piece of Alaska is shifted either straightforwardly into or distant from the sun.

Alaska is located in the far north, near the North pole. This puts it very near the earths northernmost axis, which brings it closer to the sun when the earth tilts one way, but much farther from when it tilts the other way. Due to this, Alaska can have very long summer days, and in some regions the sun never sets. In the winter, though, it may never rise, or come up for only a few hours at a time.
