How long does the north pole of Uranus get sunlight?
Because Uranus is 1,764.8 million miles from the sun, and its thick atmosphere, it only gets 1/333 the sunlight of earth.
Is there day and night on the planet Uranus?
Yes, the side of the planet facing the sun would get some sunlight; the side facing away from the sun would be dark. The sunlight side would not be nearly as bright as it is on Earth and Uranus is considerably farther from the sun than the Earth.
Why is Uranus a blueish color?
The atmosphere of Uranus is composed primarily of hydrogen and helium, with a small amount of methane and traces of water and ammonia. Uranus gets its blue-green color from methane gas. Sunlight is reflected from Uranus' cloud tops, which lie beneath a layer of methane gas. As the reflected sunlight passes back through this layer, the methane gas absorbs the red portion of the light, allowing the blue portion to pass through, resulting in the blue-green color that we see.
Which planet is it possible for the Sun to remain overhead for years at a time at either pole and for the equator to receive almost no sunlight for years?
Uranus.

Uranus and Neptune appear blue due to methane gasses. Earth is also mostly blue due to vast oceans.
