The arctic has 24 hours of darkness ans 24 hours of daylight at different parts of the year because of Earth's tilt on it axis. When it is summer, the arctic is in constant daylight because it is constantly receiving sunlight. The arctic region is facing towards the sun all summer. During winter, it is the complete opposite, it is in constant darkness because the arctic is facing away from the sun all winter
