No location, even in northernmost Greenland, has 6 months of day or night. The regions closest to the North Pole do have very long periods either of continuous day or continuous night.
Only the North Pole or the South Pole will have 6 continuous months of daylight and 6 continuous months of night, because they are alternately tipped toward or away from the Sun. Only one half of a planet (sphere) can be illuminated at any one time. A pole, the end of a planetary axis, is either tilted toward the sun, and stays in the Sun as the Earth spins, or tilted away from the Sun, and cannot move into daylight.
Areas within the Arctic Circle or Antarctic Circle (a latitude of 66.6 degrees or more) will experience one or more days of 24 hours of sunlight, and conversely one or more days of 24 hours without sunlight. The closer one gets to a pole, the longer or shorter this period of continual day or night, which is popularly described as the "midnight sun" and the "polar night." The effect of twilight reduces the actual periods of nighttime darkness, but the Sun will also never rise very high in the sky even in summer.
Locations that experience the phenomenon are northern parts of Alaska (US), Canada, Greenland (Denmark), Iceland, Finland, Norway, Sweden, and Russia. In Svalbard, Norway, the sun does not set in summer, but circles the horizon from April 19 to August 23.
Large uninhabited areas of Antarctica also experience these extended days and extended night.

Does antarctica have 6 months of day and 6 months of night?
Not all of it -- only a tiny region near the South Pole experiences 6 months of continuous daylight followed by nearly 6 months of continuous night. The North Pole has a similar division between day and night, each lasting one half of the year. However, practically all of Antarctica experiences at least 24 hours of continuous day or night, and weeks or months of continuous day or night occur in various locations. *Because of the width of the solar disc, and refraction by the atmosphere, there are about 2 or 3 more days of daylight per year than there are of night.
What are facts about day and night science facts?
days and nights are caused due to the rotation of earth on its own axis. it takes about 23 hours 56 minutes and 54 seconds for earth to complete rotation once. during rotation the part of earth which faces sun has day and the part away from sun has night. at poles days and night are of 6 months long.......when sun rays are direct on tropic of cancer there is 6 months day at the north pole and while the northern hemisphere has long days and shorter night. similar is the case with southern hemisphere. on 21st march and 23rd September days and night are equal throughout the world as the sun rays are direct on equator. areas around equator have always equal days and equal nights..............that's all i know about it

For 5 months from April to September, the sun circles the horizon and never sets. (see the related question)

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.
Why do planets have day and night?
As the Earth rotates on its axis it causes the Earth to spin. so the side which faces the sun is day as it is closest to the sun. the side that is further away from the sun is in night as it has no sun and it is dark. while the earth is spinning on its axis the side faceing the sun has day and the side faceing away has night however there is a country which has 6 month day and 6month night and that country is Norway because Norway is in a particular spot in the world which could have 6 month day and 6 month night.

Svalbard, Norway has a 5-month period from April to September when the Sun never sets, only circles the horizon.
