Sheaths also swell as a result of being dirty.. Horses with large beans (accumulations of secretions at the end of the penis) and large accumulations of sheath smegma (normal pasty secretion) often swell. Horses that urinate into their sheaths tend to have dirtier sheaths and more problems with swelling.
Some people think Alaska has less sunlight than other places. The opposite is true. Averaged over an entire year, Alaska gets 10-17 minutes more daylight per day than the rest of the country. If you include civil twilight, Alaska gets 40 minutes more light on average than the rest of the country.
On average over the year this day is equivalent to 24 hours (86 400 seconds). A day, in the sense of daytime that is distinguished from night-time, is commonly defined as the period during which sunlight directly reaches the ground, assuming that there are no local obstacles. The length of daytime averages slightly more than half of the 24-hour day.
