It all depends on the time of year. If you're right exactly on the Arctic Circle, then: -- December 21: sun is down exactly 24 hours -- March 21: sun is up 12 hours, down 12 hours -- June 21: sun is up exactly 24 hours -- September 21: sun is up 12 hours, down 12 hours -- December 21: sun is down exactly 24 hours
