Santosh doesn't have a clue I'm afraid but Yves is correct.

Everywhere on earth has a total of six months per year of darkness and six months of light, but only at the actual poles does this come all at once.

Somewhere near either pole will have a long light period followed by a time of short but lengthening nights and a 12 hour day and night on the equinoxes (21 September and 21 March). This will be reversed in winter with shorter periods of light until the period of total darkness, whose length depends on how close to the pole you are.

As you move away from the pole you will come to a place where there is no longer a period of light or darkness for more than 24 hours at any time of year. This is the Arctic (or Antarctic) Circle. Beyond this there will certainly be long nights in winter and long days in summer, but it always balances out equally over the year.

Not a country but the two poles North and south
