==Sun== {{Main|Position of the Sun}} The Sun's declination varies with the [[season]]s. As seen from [[arctic]] or [[antarctic]] latitudes, the Sun is circumpolar near the local [[summer solstice]], leading to the phenomenon of it being above the [[horizon]] at [[midnight]], which is called [[midnight sun]]. Likewise, near the local winter solstice, the Sun remains below the horizon all day, which is called [[polar night]].
