You are from the continental United States and are conversing with a classmate who comes from Norway. Your remark to your classmate how strange it must be to have almost 24 hours of sunlight on some summer days.

A) Because Norway is so close to the Arctic Circle, it is not really affected by daylight length changes. B) There is not really any normal to an individual from the far north.

D) Your statement is incorrect. There is very little light in the summer in Norway.
