The poles experience about 6 months of day and 6 months of night due to the Earth’s axial tilt of approximately 23.5 degrees. During summer, the poles are oriented toward the Sun, resulting in continuous daylight (midnight sun) for about six months. In winter, they are oriented away from the Sun, leading to continuous darkness (polar night) for the same duration. This unique phenomenon is a result of the Earth’s tilt and its orbit around the Sun.
The Poles experience about six months of day and six months of night because of the tilt of the Earth on its axis. Because of this tilt each Pole is tilted towards and away from the Sun for about six months each. When the North Pole is tilted towards the Sun it experiences continuous daylight for six months.
It is night for the same time period at the South Pole. These conditions are reversed when the South Pole is tilted towards the Sun
