∙ 11y agoEvery place north of the Arctic Circle or south of the Antarctic Circle has one period
of more than 24 hours when the sun doesn't set, and another (equal) period of more
than 24 hours when the sun doesn't rise ... one of each every year.
The closer the place is to the north or south pole, the longer these periods are.
Right at the north and south pole, the sun stays up for six months, and then goes
down for six months.

What part of Earth is darkest at the solstice and why?
If it the solstice is in northern hemisphere, then it is Antarctica, and if it occurs in southern hemisphere, then it is the North Pole. There is no stable day-night transition at the poles, therefore durring winter, the pole remains in darkness for the entire season, and durring summer sun never sets but moves in along the horizon.
Which parts of earth point at the sun?
Since earth is very close to being a sphere (it is an oblate spheroid) there really isn't any part of it that 'points' to the sun. The north pole tilts more toward the sun during the north's summer solstice and the south pole tilts more toward the sun during summer solstice in the south. But the earth's pole never points directly at the sun. The part of earth's surface that is closest to the sun (the part of earth experiencing solar noon with the sun at local zenith) will always be someplace between and including the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn.
