Coming October 17, 2008 the sun will rise continuously for 36 hrs(1.5 days).

During this time the US countries will be dark for 1.5 days. It will convert 3 days into 2 big days. It will happen once in 2400 yrs. We're very lucky to see this.

Boss, this will never happens yaar.....
this is a common sense if Earth will revolve and rotate slow then and then this will happen and think how it will regain the speed. if this will happen na whole life cycle will disturb. do you know water temp will rise it will cause sinking of costal areas, storms will distroy the things and many more.... if this will happens we will not lucky man.... haa this may happen on antartica region..what you think?

Poppycock. Let's begin by applying some grade-school science to dispel the ridiculous notion that the sun even could "rise continuously for 36 hours."

The reason we perceive the sun as "rising" or "setting" every 24 hours is because the earth rotates on its axis while revolving around the sun. It does not -- and cannot -- stop rotating, nor does its speed appreciably fluctuate (various factors such as climate and seismic events can cause miniscule changes in the earth's rotation speed, but according to scientists all of these combined add up to a differential of no more than one second per year).

In order for a day to last 36 hours, the earth's rotation would either have to cease altogether or slow down dramatically -- neither of which ever happens, let alone once every 2,400 years. It's physically impossible.

But you knew that, right? What you're really wondering is where this strange idea came from.

I heard that it's just a rumour. If it is true, who knows what's in the mind of god
