[Intro]
It’s going to be a long night
(Will you be alright?)
[Verse 1]
The sun is going down
(Down, down, down)
Until we turn around
(Round and round)
[Bridge]
Twilight
It’s going to be a long night
(Will you be alright?)
[Chorus]
The truth he speaks
(Gonna be night for weeks)
The sun below the horizon
(Don’t know when it rise again)
[Verse 2]
It turned so dark
(We needed a spark)
Until it turned day
(All the way)
[Bridge]
Twilight
It’s going to be a long night
(Will you be alright?)
[Chorus]
The truth he speaks
(Gonna be night for weeks)
The sun below the horizon
(Don’t know when it rise again)
[Outro]
Twilight
(Barely left in sight)
Insight into light
(Oh, what a delight)
The night might…
(Turn to broad daylight)
ABOUT THE SONG AND THE SCIENCE
The longest “night” at the North Pole is a continuous period of darkness known as the polar night, which lasts for approximately six months. While the exact duration depends on how “night” is defined (based on the sun’s position below the horizon), here are the specific periods for the North Pole:
* Total Polar Night (Sun below horizon): Lasts roughly 179 days. It typically begins around the autumnal equinox (September 21–25) and ends around the vernal equinox (March 18–21).
* True/Full Darkness (No twilight): Lasts for about 11 weeks. This period of “true polar night,” where no astronomical twilight occurs even at midday, occurs roughly from November 12 to January 28.
* Twilight Periods: The months of October and early March are characterized by long periods of dawn and dusk, where the sun is just below the horizon, providing some dim light rather than total darkness.
In contrast, the South Pole experiences a slightly longer polar night of approximately 186 days because Earth’s elliptical orbit causes it to move more slowly during the southern winter.
