During the winters in the North, how many months does the sun disappear and darkness sets in?

  1. Two

  2. Three

  3. Four

  4. Five

The correct answer is: Three

During the winters in the North, the sun disappears and darkness sets in for three months. This is due to the phenomenon of polar night, where certain regions experience continuous darkness for a prolonged period of time. Option A is incorrect because two months would not be a long enough period for it to be considered polar night. Option C is also incorrect because four months would be too long for it to be considered continuous darkness. Option D is incorrect because five months would mean that there is darkness for more than half of the year which is not the case.
