    Why do poles experience about six months day and six months night?

    Answer:

    Where the Southern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun, the Sun's rays do not reach beyond the Antarctic Circle causing continuous darkness for 24 hours for about six months. The Northern Hemisphere will then be having summer. So beyond the Arctic Circle there will be continuous daylight for 24 hours for 6 months.
