Winter. The Earth has an axis, tilted at about 23.5° from the perpendicular to Earth's orbit. When the Earth's north pole is tilted towards the Sun, the northern hemisphere is in summer while the southern hemisphere is in winter. That's the main time when the Sun doesn't set at the north pole. When the Earth's north pole is tilted away from the Sun the southern hemisphere is in summer while the northern hemisphere is in winter.
It takes about 12,450.5 miles from the north pole to the south pole or south pole to north pole.
The stars always circle the zenith, or the point directly overhead, at the North Pole. This phenomenon occurs due to the Earth's rotation on its axis, which causes the stars to appear to move in a circular pattern above the North Pole without rising or setting.
