In actuality, no. But it seems like it, the sun comes up at 11:00 am and sets at 2:30 pm, you think it is dark for 6 months. Starting the last part of September it starts getting dark earlier until about mid May. Then it stays light 23 hours.

Alaska for 6 months
Fairbanks Alaska has 11 months of darkness per year, and 5 months of light/dark mix the rest of the year. Except during leap year, when Fairbanks only has 9 months total, and 7 of them are non-stop light, to make up for the eleven months of darkness.
yes my cousin lived in anchorage for two years and the had 6 months of light and 6 months of darkness
Yes. The reason Alaska has 6 months in the day and night, is because the Earth's axis is tilted. Meaning that Alaska is in the North and in the spring and summer it will point at the sun. In the winter and fall, the sun will point to the opposite way from the sun.
yes..... because it is to do with the way the earth is on its axis
In countries near the poles, such as Norway, Finland, Sweden, and Russia, there are regions where the sun does not set for up to six months during summer (midnight sun) and does not rise for up to six months during winter (polar night). This phenomenon is called the midnight sun and polar night.
Yes, Antarctica stays dark for about 6 months all day long, then after that there is daylight for 6 months because of its angle toward the sun.
In Alaska there is 6 months day & night
If you live in a place such as Alaska where there is no sun for 6 months you have no electricity for 5 or 6 months. Also if you use up all of your electricity what will you do at night or when the sun isn't shining?
This phenomenon, known as polar day and polar night, occurs in polar regions near the North and South Poles. These regions experience 6 months of continuous daylight during the polar day and 6 months of constant darkness during the polar night.
