Explanation

Norway is known as the 'Land of the Midnight Sun' because during summer months, parts of the country located north of the Arctic Circle experience 24 hours of daylight - the sun remains visible even at midnight. This phenomenon occurs due to the Earth's axial tilt. Belgium, Holland, and Sweden do not have territories extending far enough north to experience the true midnight sun like Norway does.
