Does the north pole get 6 months daylight in your summer or winter?

because the earth is tilted towards the poles,so in summers the north pole will have continuous daylight for 6 months and south pole will have night for 6 months.Then in winters it will be reversed i.e. north pole will have night for the other 6 months and south pole will have continuous day light for 6 months. this proves that the poles experience day for 6 months and other 6 months they experience night.

How many hours of sunlight does the north pole get at the December solstice?

How long is the night?

The "longest night" on Earth is either at the north pole or at the south pole, where the Sun is up for 6 months and then down for six months. However, nobody lives at the North Pole (except Santa...) while there is a U.S. Navy research station at the South Pole. For other areas, the length of day and night will vary by your latitude. At the equator, the days and nights are pretty much equal all year long. At higher latitudes, the days are longer in the spring and summer, and shorter in the fall and winter. The shortest day of the year is on the winter solstice, which is December 21 in the northern hemisphere and June 21 in the Southern Hemisphere. (These dates can vary a day either way, depending on the cycle of leap years.)


Why is the day longer then night in Sweden?

It isn't always. True in summer, false in winter. If you go north of the arctic circle, there is no "night" in summer, and no "day" in winter. Caused by the tilt of the earth's axis relative to its orbit (it always points to the pole star, summer or winter). It's not just Sweden, it's a property of the geographical Latitude.
