North of the Arctic Circle the sun does not go below the horizon at midsummer. Simiarly it does not rise in midwinter. Brrrr chilly !
Just before midwinter, the sun sets in early October and is the furthest from the north pole on around December 21, about 10 weeks later. This means that the longest night can be about 20 weeks long. It is a reasonable estimate to assume that the longest day lasts as long as that.
Of course, the lengths of time will vary according to the various precessions that apply to the Earth. For example, axial precession changes the angle of the axis, which changes the degree to which the seasons affect daylight.
