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.)

High latitudes
What is the ratio of the area of a circle to the area of a square?
Circle and square are two entirely different shapes. But the ratio of areas of square to circle if their perimeter is equal is pi/4.
Where are the earth's polar areas?
The earth's polar areas are at ARCTIC to the north and ANTARCTIC to the south of the equator.
How do the areas of the circle and the parallelogram compare?
They both are areas. Just Kidding. Both of them have to have a height and length.
How many 5 foot circles fit in 18 foot circle?
You can use the formula for the area of a circle to compare (i.e., divide) the areas.
