How is it day time when its night time in Alaska?
You have to remember your location in the world. Firstly you do not state where you are and the world rotates. It is always night somewhere as it is always day somewhere. Secondly parts of Alaska stretch so far west they cross the anti-meridian and have an eastern longitude. Thirdly Alaska is way up north and it is winter time, so the days are short if they exist at all.

Why are the days so long in northern Alaska?
That's only true in the summer. In the winter, it's the opposite, the nights are long, only 3 or 4 hours of daylight. The further north you go, the more extreme the day/night cycles are.
This is because the earth isn't "straight up and down" aligned with the sun. The earth is tilted, and as it rotates around the sun, the tilt is pointing closer towards the sun part of the year, and pointing away from the sun the rest of the year. Imagine the hands of a clock as being the poles of the earth. Instead of being at 12 and 6, the hands of the clock are at 10 and 4. Now walk with the clock around a lamp or a light source, always keeping the 10-hand pointed in the same direction. As you go around the light, you'll see the 10-hand point towards the light, then on the other side, point away. This experiment shows the seasons in the northern and southern hemispheres.
Also, take a look at the hand pointing towards the "4". The same effect is true there as well, so the same long-days in the summer, short-days in the winter effect happens in the extreme south as well, just at the opposite time of year.
Why does is stay dark in Alaska?
It stays dark in Alaska because the earth's axis is tilted at at 23 angle. This means that during part of winter, parts of Alaska do not get light because even with the full 24 hour rotation of the earth, there is not a single position where they get sunlight.

What are some popular foods in Alaska?
No, we don't eat polar bears. I'm sure up near Barrow some people might, but the majority of Alaskans do not. People in Alaska eat what people all over the US generally eat. However, hunting game for food is also a normal activity. We eat fish, moose, bear, caribou, duck, rabbit... etc.

They eat fish and they also eat things like us like chips and popcorn just like we do.
