Question 12

The regions, near North Pole and South Pole, have six months of continuous day-light and darkness.

Answer

The Poles experience six-month day and six-month night due to the inclination of the earth's axis. Because of its tilted position each pole is inclined alternatively towards the Sun for six months resulting in continuous day and night.
