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.

When do the polar regions receive darkness for 24 hours?
Only regions north of the Arctic Circle, or south of the Antarctic circle, will experience at least one day without sunlight during the year. The closer one gets to the pole, the more days will occur without sunrise, and conversely the same number without a sunset. At either of the poles, there is 6 months of daylight and 6 months of night. The equinoxes are the starting and ending of the polar day/night, so the farther away from the poles, the later in the season the day of no sunlight will occur, and the earlier the day of no night.

Is it possible for a day and night to occur without the sun?
No. Day and night are DEFINED based on the sun. Generally, it is day when the sun is shining on a part of the world, and night in the part it isn't shining- yes, that does mean that while it is day somewhere on earth, it is also night somewhere else. Day and night are determined by the Earth Rotating on it's axis. As one side of the Earth is facing the sun and experiencing daylight the opposite side is facing away from the sun and experiencing night time. The Earth's axial tilt causes extremes at the poles where the sun shines continuously for several months or is blocked by the rest of the Earth causing night time for several months. So the North and South poles can experience a 24hr period with only light or only dark.
