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. Large uninhabited areas of Antarctica also experience these extended days and extended night.
*Because of the width of the solar disc, slightly more than half of the Earth receives sunlight at any given time. Polar nights are never exactly 6 months long, and on the equinox days, the Sun can be on the horizons of both poles at the same time.
