Are those “rays” physical or caused by timezones?
Remember that the world is tilted as it rotates. The “rays” are from the earth’s rotation at an angle changing the sundown time on an axis.
Also the Mercator projection is infamously inaccurate. I’m surprised the straight lines are straight, actually.
This is absolutely not Mercator (otherwise, meridians would be all vertical and the Polar Circle a straight horizontal boundary), and the diagonal lines do not quite appear straight.
“Before 3pm” sounds horrific.
I imagine those regions are effectively in 24 hours of darkness at that point
I can’t tell you about 24h of darkness, but I would love to experience a few weeks of 24h daylight! But only as a tourist. LOL
