184 Fig. 22 (6) Let ϕ + δ = 20°. (Ref. fig. 22) ie. imagine the Sun to rise at N, the north point so that RN + NP = δ + ϕ = 90°. Then the Sun's diurnal path will be entirely above the horizon, which means that what is called 'perpetual day' begins for that place on that day and lasts as long as δ ⩾ 90 - ϕ. For the same place, let δ =

• (90 - ϕ) = QS. In this case the Sun sets at S, and what is called perpetual night begins and lasts till the southern declination of the Sun is greater than 90 - ϕ. The duration of perpetual day can be found as follows which applies to the perpetual night as well. Fig. 23 (Ref. fig. 23). Let A be the point at which the declination is 90 - ϕ; let S be the summer solstice and let B be the point where again the declination is equal to 90 - ϕ. So long as the Sun traces the arc AB = 2 AS =
