Generally, the sun doesn't set during the summer period and generally, the sun doesn't rise during the winter period.
The precise period as to the number of days, weeks or months of these phenomenon depends on where you are on the continent between the Antarctic Circle -- one 24-hour period, and the South Pole - six month period.
