Commentary

The most unrealistic parts here are the lack of clouds and that the sun is visible at all. (No, not that the sun is talking, that's totally realistic.)

Today, the sun rose at 10.53 (AM) and set at 12.56 (AM?). That's two hours of sunlight.

Of course, this is a bit local to my latitude, which is not that far north of the Arctic Circle*, meaning I live in a borderland territory where the dark period doesn't last as long and we still get some light. Further north, the sun doesn't shine above the horizon at all for several months. Literally a months-long night, counterbalanced by a months-long day (midnight sun) in the summer. Going even further, each of the geographic pole points has one sunrise and one sunset a year.

Who said a year has 365 days?

* Fun fact: Relative to the Earth's orbit around the sun, the Arctic and Antarctic circles are the areas that are "up" and "down" over the course of a day. This means that during winter, the areas north/south of them are in shadow from the sun even during what should be the day, and vice versa during summer.
