Why is japan Called the land of the rising Sun and Greenland referred to as the land of the midnight sun.?

Answer 1

Answer:

The words, Japan, Nippon, Nihon all means “the origin of the sun” where sun rises and that it the reason why the country is often called the land of the rising sun.

Midnight Sun occurs in places north to Arctic Circle. So, any place above the Arctic Circle will be referred as Land of Midnight Sun. Here, Sun is visible for 24 hrs. Greenland is also above Arctic Circle. Thus, it is known as the land of midnight sun.

Answer 2

Answer:

Japan is called the land of the rising Sun because the sun rises first in Japan and then in any other part of the world.

Green land is referred as the land of the midnight sun because the sun is visible for 24 hours in Greenland, which means that the sun does not rise or set for a few months each year.
