How does the sun appear from the arctic or antarctic?

I suppose the answer is “approximately six months at a time”.

I’m sending this Q to @cazzie. She lives near the arctic circle.

In the spring, the sun rises above the horizon and goes around and around, never setting, never rising above the horizon, like, directly overhead. As summer heads to winter, the sun sets, not to rise again until spring.

Norway- Midnight Sun looked like any other day…except it lasts, and lasts, and lasts.

The sun rises and sets differently from the point of view at each latitude. The greater the latitude, the more change to where the sun rises and sets in the horizon and how long it is viable for through the seasons. Maybe I can find a graphic to help demonstrate. (Am I going to regret this?)

The height of the sun in the noon and the length of the time when the sun is above horizon is different. Other than that, it’s similar. Rise from the east, set to the west.

Thank you all. I guess nothing different about the shape of the sun.

No… spheres tend to be round from all angles…
