There is also a place in the universe where the sun rises 16 times in 24 hours. That is, every 90 minutes there is day and night. Let us know where this happens.
Antarctica, Alaska and Norway You must have heard that there is no night for six months in these areas. Norway is even more special among these, here even if there is night for six months, it is only for 10-10 minutes, but do you know that there is a place in the universe where the sun rises 16 times in 24 hours. That is, every 90 minutes there is day and night.
Every 90 minutes there is an act of night and day in the sky away from the earth, this is the place International Space Station, Astronauts living on ISS witness sunrise and sunset every 90 minutes. Let's understand how.
ISS revolves around the earth, while doing so its speed is more than 27580 km per hour. Due to this speed, it completes one revolution of the earth in just 90 minutes. That's why day and night happen so quickly here.
The special thing is that when sunlight falls on the ISS, its temperature reaches up to 121 degree Celsius, which can turn to ashes in a jiffy. When it goes behind the earth, the temperature here becomes -157 degree Celsius.
According to a NASA report, the sudden rise and fall of temperature does not affect astronauts, because the temperature inside the space station is not much affected. Their space suits are designed in such a way that they can tolerate the temperature.
