Is the north pole is it dark for half of the year and light for half of the year?

Yes. Because the Earth rotates about the north pole, whenever the axis faces away from the sun, the north pole also faces away from the sun, and when the earth revolves around the sun into winter, the north pole remains light.

∙ 14y agoNo place on earth is dark for a straight six months, unless you count the many caves in its crust. However, the poles come quite close. The sun is not directly visible for 179 straight days during the winter for each one (which is about a week short of six months). For most of this time, it is also not low enough to be completely dark; twilight still happens and this can actually be quite bright.
