How night and day work above the Arctic Circle.

Movies and TV and stories talk about how there's 6 months of daylight and 6 months of darkness. That does not fucking happen. This is still part of storytelling to this day (I'm looking at you, Sweet Tooth season 3).

Days get stupidly long in the summer, and there's a while where the sun really doesn't go down. in the Winter days get stupidly short, and there's a while where it doesn't really come up all that much. But it's not 6 months of one and 6 months of the other.

(edited for clarity)

There's a few movies that get it mostly right. Wasn't it the entire plot of the movie 30 days of darkness? I think it was still too light in those last days depicted before darkness fell.

I long for the days where movies would tell you it's night time but still actually keep it light enough that you can, y'know watch the movie
