Why does Norway have a 6 month day and 6 month night?
It does not. Only northern Norway is within the Arctic Circle and can experience more than 24 hours of continuous day or night. Only the North Pole and South Pole have 6 months of day and nearly 6 months of night.
Svalbard, Norway (latitude 78.4° N) does have a greatly extended period of "midnight sun" during the summer. For 5 months from April to September, the sun circles the horizon and never sets.

When does the sun not appear for six months out of a year?
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.
What does the north pole look like?
It's mostly barren and snow covered. I believe some US military people actually did plant a pole there at one time, but the pictures from the North Pole Skydive, in April, just showed flat, white, wilderness.
A south wind would blow toward the south pole true of false?
The name south, west etc tells us the direction the wind comes from. So a south wind comes from the south and blows toward the north.
However, at the South Pole it is not possible to have a south wind because all directions from that point are north. Therefore the answer is false.
An analogous pole is a pole of a crystal which becomes positively electrified when heated.
During the course of a year the sun will disappear from view near the North Pole on what date?
Atmospheric effects may move the dates slightly either way, but the way this geometry

about September 21 until March 21.
Why is the distance between two longitude lines at the north pole 0?
Because all of the longitudes converge in a single point, at both the north and
south poles. When you stand at a pole, you're standing on every longitude.

What is a tool that always points north used in the 15th century?
The answer you are looking for is 'magnetic compass'.
Cosmic ray intensity at Earth's surface would be greater when Earth's magnetic field passed through a zero phase because magnetic shifting is minimal. Fossil evidence suggests that the periods of no protective magnetic field may have been as important in changing life forms as x-rays have been in the famous heredity studies of fruit flies.
