There is no sunrise for nearly 6 months at either pole, the North Pole or South Pole. The poles are alternately tipped toward, or away from the Sun for half of each year. There is slightly more than 6 months of daylight, beginning on the vernal equinox, and almost 6 months of night, beginning on the autumnal (fall) equinox.
For the North Pole, this means no sun from late September to late March, but there is considerable twilight when the Sun is not too far below the horizon, especially in early October and the middle of March.
For the South Pole, the sun sets in March and does not rise again until September.

The earth is tilted.So for the year it takes to move around the sun, the northern hemisphere has six months tilted towards the sun.During that time the radiation from the sun falls more directly on the northern hemisphere, so it has summer.

No. For the Sun to be "in" one of the constellations means that the constellation is BEHIND the Sun, and so invisible. Any constellation is, on average, visible for 9 months of the year, with the 3 months of non-visibility being centered on that constellation.

Why do poles experience about six months day and six months night?
Poles experience about six months of day and six months of night due to the tilt of Earth's axis. When a pole is tilted towards the Sun, it experiences continuous daylight as the Sun remains above the horizon for an extended period. Likewise, when the pole is tilted away from the Sun, it results in continuous darkness for an extended period.

Why do the areas in frigid zone have six months day followed by six months of night?
The frigid zones experience six months of daylight followed by six months of darkness due to the tilt of the Earth on its axis. This tilt causes the angle of sunlight to vary throughout the year, creating the phenomenon of polar day and polar night at high latitudes. During polar day, the sun never sets, while during polar night, the sun remains below the horizon for an extended period.
