Why poles have days and nights of six months duration?
At the poles, there are about six months of daylight followed by about six months of night. That is because the Earth's axis is tilted away from the perpendicular to Earth's orbital plane. The earth is tilted on its axis, because of which very poor sunlight is allowed to reach the north and south poles. When the north pole is tilted towards the sun, it experiences continuous daylight for six months. And when the pole is tilted on the other side, it experiences continuous night for six months.
