Nah we're from Sweden, we all know the earth is round

[miskatuppurainen]

I live in the south of Finland and the winter is pretty hard sometimes. When you go to Work/School it's dark outside and when you come back from work it's dark. But the summers in the nordic countries are magical. And it's not cold in the summers it gets 77-90 degrees fahrenheit or 30 celsius.

4:21 It has been know by humans for thousands of years that the Earth is a sphere. It's a scientific fact and I think many of my countrymen feel the same way I do; that it's sad that some people are still scientifically illiterate in this day and age.

[loevet]

In the beginning of your video, you ask "How do you live for a month with no light?". Well, the answer is CHRISTMAS. In Sweden Christmas is all about light. We don´t care about Christmas miracles and all that. Two days before Christmas we have the darkest day of the whole year. Christmas marks the turning point.
4 weeks before Christmas all Swedes put up shining stars and candlesticks in the windows. We light candles in the middle of the tables when we eat and outside some stores you can see small bonfires. We sing Christmas songs with the word "light" repeated over and over. 10 days before Christmas we celebrate Lucia, which is a saint who is bringing us light.
When the winter darkness is here, it means Christmas is close. Without darkness - no real Christmas. That is how we survive!

I live in this region, in Norway, Swedens neighbouring country. There is no "cultural" shock going to other places, remember, in the autumn and spring, we have equal amount of light and darkness :) So we know how that feels too. The summers are bright, winters are dark, autumn and spring is "normal".

[magdalenabozyk]

Here in the north, decorating for Christmas with lights gets another meaning than it is in other places. Because it's also beautiful and practical in itself. December tends to be the darkest month - and then you have all of those lights everywhere.

I live in the outskirts of Stockholm. We don’t get winters like this, the contrasts are less clear. We do have light all hours in the summer and a few, very short, hours of sun in the winter. Usually it’s overcast. The children are better at accepting the natural changes, mine thinks the entire world is a playground when it is covered in snow. They can be out for hours sliding, climbing and building forts. Me- not so much

[svealusmagi]

Thank you for watching this video.Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russia are the closest to the polar pole. We also have such cold winters in Estonia . Estonia is close to Finland.Estonia is one of the three Baltic countries. Geography Now, it has introductions of all these countries. It is very interesting. We don`t have earthquakes, tornadoes, tsunamis either. Every country has its own history and it has also influenced the development of the country`s culture.

One of the biggest things that are hard to adapt to when you move south is that it’s warm and dark at the same time. When I go on vacation, It always feels so alien that it can be summer temperatures but the sun sets at 8 pm.

[Pitetjej]

I also live in northern Sweden; around 400 km north of where Jonna lives, and around 200 km south of the Arctic circle.
Here the summer sunset (in June) is at midnight, and the sunrise around 1 AM. (24 hours of daylight.)
In December the sunrise is at 9:30 AM, and the sunset at around 1 PM. (Around 4 hours of daylight.)
I live in an apartment in the city (or a smalltown to be more exact), but my dream is buying a house in the countryside.

I love - LOVE! - the summers! That´s my favorite time of the year, and I LOVE the daylight nights. Maybe because I was born during one of those nights... early July in the middle of the night ;-)
Unfortunately the summers here can be pretty unpredictable. It CAN be sun and 30 degrees (Celsius), but it can just as likely rain the entire summer and be like 15 degrees...
The most common winter temperature is between -15 and -25 degrees, but it can just as well drop below -30.
The coldest I experienced (but this was only one time!) was -42 degrees. That was way back in 8th grade (1999); and I can promise that it was a COLD walk to school that day!

Seasonal Affective Disorder (seasonal depression) is VERY common here, especially during winter months, due to the lack of sunlight.
So our winters I could definitely live without! But I would never trade the summers; not for anything!

It's because the Earth is round that polar night (no sun) and midnight sun (always sun) can happen. People living this far north are really affected by the Earth being round. The earth rotational axis is tilted 23.5 degrees (relative to the Sun-Earth direction). The tilt is always in the same direction, and when Earth is on one side of the Sun (the northen part of Earth tilting towards the Sun) we have midnight sun this far north (above latitude 90-23.5 = 66.5 N) and 6 months later we tilt away from the Sun, meaning no Sun.

[annawettergren]

The question "how do you feel about the Earth being round or flat?" There is no feeling about it. It just is. Such a wierd question to ask. Don't be these people who think that anyones opinion is equal in worth to facts.

[magnum_cx]

I’m from Sweden, but I lived in Alabama for a year. The summer was way too fucking hot and I enjoyed the tornado season (we didn’t get hit by any tornadoes thankfully) because we rarely get rain that heavy (just lighter rain much more periodically).

The thing that really culture shocked me though was the lack of seasons. In Sweden we have such a clear distinction of 4 very different season. But in Alabama I only actively noticed two, the hot half of the year and the not as hot rainy part of the year. It took a WEEK for all the leaves to change colors and fall, not a month or so like I’m used to. Time and my life felt so slow and static.

There’s something so special about really seeing time pass all around you. Seeing all the beautiful fall colors slowly make them way onto all the plant life when it finally cools from the summer and you can start wearing cozy clothes again. Hearing the birds return and start singing to announce spring after a loooong dark winter, bright leaves sprouting up all around you and smelling all the flowers come back to bloom.

Even if I move again I’ll always come back to Sweden. I might even move further north just so that I can feel the shifting of the light and seasons even more.

[linnear]

I live in the middle of Sweden (still counted as the north) and we have about 4 hours of sunlight in the winter and then in summer it never goes dark for the first part of summer. Temperature wise I'd say in winter we have between -15 c to -30 c ( so 5 degreed farenheit to -22 farenheit) and then in summer we have between 23-28 C ( being 73 F to 82 f).

[Balleehuuu]

There is no controversial point in regard to the shape of the earth at all - only if you are in a flat earth bubble ... If you know someone who can't get their head around how the earth is a globe, I recommend the videos from "Professor Dave explains", "Dave McKeegan" or from "planarwalk" (for the people who like an new zealand accent in those videos).

[lullebulle]

I love that she spoke about being honest with oneself and come to a realisation that you cant feel the same in the winter and in the summer, and i also think that is where alot of people get depressed, because when winter comes, your work place still expect the same level from you.. and that might be to much for some people and they cant understand why they feel different.

[deportedsouls]

I hope the "earth being round or flat"-question was just a joke. Swedes are educated and taught about the universe during the first years in school. 😊 About the same age we learn English.

[emilpedersen]

From the north of Sweden 🇸🇪 we definitely know that the earth is
Otherwise we wouldn’t have the conditions we
And we are educated 🤪😜

[magdalenabozyk]

Up here in the north we have something more that is provided for us due to the tilt of the axis - very long sunsets and sunrises. By long I don't mean how long you see the sun, but by how long the horizon and the sky is still light after the sunset, and how long it's light before the sunrise. (At the equator instead the sun sets and rises almost instantly - it's almost sudden when the sun sets or rises)

Where I live, the sun sets during the summer, but in June/July the nights are more of a dusk than a proper night. It's like you have a dusk/twilight that lasts for a couple of hours. This type of light is magical.


To experience similar conditions that I have, you "only" need to go to Anchorage in Alaska. Because I live about the same up north as them. Jonna though, you'd have to go to Canada at least.

[magdalenabozyk]

It's not a "wham" it's now 24 h dark and wham 24 h light. The length of the day and night switches from day to day.
The extremes are during the summer/winter solstice (around 21st June/21st December), and then there's equal amount of sun and darkness (12 h each) during spring and autumn equinoxes. During an equinox everyone, everywhere has the same amount of day/night.

I still marvel at the changes. It's enough that I've had a cold for few days and then realize "wait a minute, it used to be dark at this hour" just few days later. Because the length of the day can differ around ½h from day to day when the changes are the most extreme.
