Imagine the Earth is like a spinning top, and it’s tilted. In summer, places near the North Pole get to see the sun all day long because they're tilted towards the Sun. It's like being in the front row of a big light show that never ends.
Examples
- Imagine you're on a playground swing during summer. The sun is always above you even when it's midnight because you're right at the top of the swing.
- It’s like living in a place where the sun never goes to sleep, it just keeps shining through the night.
- If you were a polar bear, you’d probably feel a little dizzy from all that sunlight nonstop!
