Every place on Earth that's north of the Arctic Circle or south of the Antarctic Circle
has more than 24 hours of light and more than 24 hours of dark sometime during the
year. The closer to the pole, the more longer than 24 hours they are. Right at the
north and south poles, you get six months of sun-up and six months of sun-down in
a year.

The Earth is a sphere and it's just the half sphere facing the Sun that can get sunlight. So, half the Earth is always getting sunlight.

It averages out, over the full year, at 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of night every 24 hours. So, it's any particular place on Earth that gets light for half the day, on average.
