Why does the sun not rise in Greenland for several months?
Sun does not rise in Greenland for several months because it is near to North pole and at the poles there is night for 6 months and day for 6 months. At the poles the day and night are so long because there is a tilt in earths axis then when earth have went around the half one pole hides and the other pole is in light.
What is unusual about the north and south pole and why is this so?
The North Pole is not on a land mass. The pole is actually exists in the middle of semi-permanent, constantly shifting masses of ice. The depth of the sea at the North Pole is approximately 14,000 feet. The first exploration to the bottom of the sea at the North Pole was undertaken by the Russians in 2007. The physical location of the North Pole varies, due to the "wobbling" effect that is caused by a shifting in the Earth's axis. Scientists knew that the North Pole was located in the ocean as early as the 16th century. The still-controversial discovery of the North Pole is credited to American Robert Peary, in April 1909. In the summer months, temperatures at the North Pole can reach up to 32F--the freezing mark. In winter months, temperatures range from -45 to -15F. The North Pole is far from devoid of life, polar bears, fur seals and some sea birds have been seen around the North Pole area. There is little marine life, Russian underwater expeditions report no marine life at the seabed. The standard method of telling time based on the position of the sun in the sky does not work at the North Pole. A day at the North Pole lasts the whole year.
Why does the north pole have longer day light than the south pole?
The Earth is on a 23.5 degrees tilt, causing this effect. Note that this effect only happens for six months and later this effect gets passed onto the South Pole giving it a longer day than the North Pole.

Is there any part of the World having six months night and six months day?

Does the north pole get 6 months daylight in your summer or winter?
because the earth is tilted towards the poles,so in summers the north pole will have continuous daylight for 6 months and south pole will have night for 6 months.Then in winters it will be reversed i.e. north pole will have night for the other 6 months and south pole will have continuous day light for 6 months. this proves that the poles experience day for 6 months and other 6 months they experience night.
How many seconds are there in a night?

Why is the day in Alaska longer than the day on the east coast?
It only happens in the summer and it's because Alaska is closer to the North Pole. At the North Pole the Sun never sets - but only between March 21 and September 22.
Which country has long days short nights?

How many hours of sunlight does the north pole get at the December solstice?
At the North Pole during the December solstice, there is 24 hours of darkness. This is because the axial tilt of the Earth causes the North Pole to be tilted away from the sun during this time, preventing sunlight from reaching that region.
Does bulgaria has continuous day and continuous night for 6 months?
impossible. the said phenomenon only occurs in north and south POLE.
How long is the night?
The "longest night" on Earth is either at the north pole or at the south pole, where the Sun is up for 6 months and then down for six months. However, nobody lives at the North Pole (except Santa...) while there is a U.S. Navy research station at the South Pole. For other areas, the length of day and night will vary by your latitude. At the equator, the days and nights are pretty much equal all year long. At higher latitudes, the days are longer in the spring and summer, and shorter in the fall and winter. The shortest day of the year is on the winter solstice, which is December 21 in the northern hemisphere and June 21 in the Southern Hemisphere. (These dates can vary a day either way, depending on the cycle of leap years.)
Why is the day longer then night in Sweden?
It isn't always. True in summer, false in winter. If you go north of the arctic circle, there is no "night" in summer, and no "day" in winter. Caused by the tilt of the earth's axis relative to its orbit (it always points to the pole star, summer or winter). It's not just Sweden, it's a property of the geographical Latitude.
What country have more day time than night time?
