Does Starlink work in Norway or Alaska?

I would never have guessed Starlink had this many satellites.



Yes. But there are much less of the sats.

There is basically a line at a certain latitude where the density of population is highest. So must sats circle between between that area.

But to cover the things further north (or south) respectively, SpaceX also has sats in polar orbit. Those allow for coverage from the poles to the max latitude.
