Almost all countries do experience periods of complete darkness. It occurs when the side of the Earth they are on is completely facing away from the sun, and when the moon is on the stage of the moon cycle called new moon.

∙ 7y agoYou can estimate the length of day or night for a part of the world at a particular time of year by counting the number of ¼ hour intervals it is in light or darkness (with "step" active). If the region you're interested in lies on or near one of the circles of equal latitude displayed (equator, tropic or arctic/antarctic circles) you could instead estimate the proportion of the circle in darkness or light.

There only part of the world in constant darkness are the interiors of caves. Elsewhere on Earth's surface, there are regular sunrises and sunsets. At the poles, however, there is only one of each annually.

Why does county near in north pole does not see the sun in 24 hours?
Because of the tilt of the earth. The earth doesn't spin vertically straight - it spins at an angle of about 11 degrees. This means that, due to the tilt and the position of the earth as it orbits the sun, areas at the extreme north (and south) of the planet experience 24 hours of daylight in summer, and 24 hours of darkness in winter.
Why earth has night and day?
Earth has day and nights because the sun can only shine on one part of the Earth at a time, resulting in one half of the Earth in darkness, and one half of the Earth with light. The days and nights last only 12 hours because the Earth rotates around the sun once every 24 hours. Half of the time, the sun will shine an a particular spot on the Earth, the other half of the time, the sun will not shine causing darkness.
