At the poles, you have 6 months of daylight and 6 months with the sun below the horizon.
There are certain provisos with these statements however,: The atmosphere refratcs the sunlight so that each day of visble sun is slightly longer than it would be if there was no air.But basically its 6 and 6 no matter where you are.
