It's even better than that! The north pole has 6 months of night-time and
the south pole has 6 months of daytime. They're the same 6 months, and
December 21 is right in the middle of it.
Maybe you can guess what goes on during the other half of the year . . .
The north pole has 6 months of daytime and the south pole has 6 months
of night-time. Those are also the same 6 months, and June 21 is right in
the middle of that period.

What is different about the areas above the Arctic Circle?
Above the Arctic Circle, locations will experience at least one 24-hour period of sunlight per year as well as at least one 24-hour period with no sunrise at all. The tilt of the Earth means that when the noon Sun is directly overhead a point above the equator, the North Pole receives 24 hours of sunlight. When the noon Sun is directly overhead a point south of the equator, the North Pole gets no sunlight at all. The closer a point is to the North Pole, the more days it has per year with either 24 hours of sunlight or 24 hours of night. At the North Pole, there is a 6-month period of constant daylight and a 6-month period with no daylight. (However, it can get somewhat bright during daytime hours in early spring and late fall when the Sun is just slightly below the horizon.)
