Aurora Borealis\nThe Nothern Lights

Yeah. The technical term is seasonal depression. Try to get outside more, or hook up some "natural" lighting in your house to simulate sunlight.

It really depends on where you are.  For northernly latitudes, Ursa Major (big dipper), Ursa Minor (little dipper), and Cassiopeia are generally visible on any night of the year.

I see, you're missing some commas!!\n"Is it easier to see at night, in the desert, or in the dark?"\n\nSo, my answer is "in the desert"!!! (Assuming it's daytime or I have a torch...!!)

The midnight sun is a phenomenon occurring in latitudes north of the Arctic Circle and south of the Antarctic Circle where the sun is continuously visible for at least 24 hours once per year. Since there are no permanent human settlements south of the Antarctic Circle, the countries and territories whose population experiences it are limited to Alaska, northern Canada, Greenland, Iceland, northern Norway, Sweden and Finland, and extremities of Russia such as Novaya Zemlya and the cities of Murmansk, Norilsk and Vorkuta. A quarter of Finland's territory lies above the Arctic Circle, and as a consequence the midnight sun can be experienced — for more and more days, the further north one goes. At Finland's northernmost point, the sun does not set for 73 days during summer.

That depends on what side you are on. One side is always daytime the other side is always nighttime.

What you see outside at night is a mixture of these:\nStars (like the sun)\nPlanets\nSattelites\nGalaxies

yeah, Sunny.\nThere is no cloud that can reach the Troposphere.\nSo the sun always shines up there during the day.

Probly Early morning or late after noon. That way there is sunlight (plants need it you know) and its not extreamly hot or cold.

Parts of Alaska, June 21st has 24 hour sun.  Winter on Dec. 21st has 24 hr. night.  It's seasonal and depends on the earth's tilt on the axis in relation to the sun.  In the summer, the axis is pointed in such a way that there is no night, in the winter, it's the same with no daylight.

Hi there-\n\nAccording to the National Weather Service, there is actually no difference between the two designations.\n\nPartly Cloudy and Partly Sunny are both used when anywhere between 3/8 and 4/8 of the sky is obscured by sky. The ranks are:\n\nClear or Sunny  0/8\n\nMostly Clear, or Mostly Sunny 1/8 to 2/8\n\nPartly Cloudy, or Partly Sunny  3/8 to 4/8\n\nMostly Cloudy, or Considerable Cloudiness  5/8 to 7/8\n\nCloudy 8/8\n\nFair (used mostly for nighttime periods)  \nLess than 4/10 opaque clouds, no precipitation, no extremes of visibility, temperature or winds.  Describes generally pleasant weather conditions.

day and night are caused by the fact that sunlight can only light half of earth at a time, and since earth is spinning, we are carried along and pass in and out of the sunlight.  earth has an atmosphere so we can see scattered sunlight even when we can't see the sun.  this is called twilight.

it depends on your place in space. are you in a straight line with a planet and sun,  then there is night and vice versa

Equinox means equal night......the two days a year ( March and September) when the sun at noon is directly overhead at the Equator. The two solstices are Summer when the sun is directly overhead at 23N and the Winter when its directly overhead at 23S...so your shadow would point south everyday of the year at 23S except on the Winter Solstice when there would be, in theory, no shadow at all since the sun is 90 degrees overhead

u might have heard abt latitudes. Sun light constantly falls on earth. as earth moves different past of earth receives light and this is what we term as day and night. Latitudes help in determining times and it takes 15mins for sun to pass from one latitide to another. In other words we have time zones ever heard of green whtch time zone. This way, time is calculated with respect to sunrise and sunset. \n\nThus its all depending on how sunlight reaches in ur region..!

I live in a small town in the midwest and make it a point to go out and do some stargazing.  The street lights do wash out some of the dimmer stars, but there are still a lot of stars to see.  Going out into the countryside will reveal a lot more stars.  Not only the stars though, in the last week I have also seen Mars, Venus, Saturn, Jupiter and Mercury..and the most fantastic cresent moon in the early morning.  If a person can get up into the mountains at night (no mountains where I am at), the sky is very full of stars...way too cool.
