At any moment, there is a region of Earth that is in daytime. This region moves around the globe at a rate of 15 degrees per hour (360 degrees in 24 hours); actually, it is the Earth that rotates and presents an ever changing face to the Sun.
In the summer, there are regions (in the polar regions) where the sun is above the horizon 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
PS(1): The planetary society has a map showing where the sun is directly overhead (in real time). Plus, you can click on thumbnails and see actual sundials in various locations around the world.
PS(2): There is a "sunclock" showing what areas are in daylight (in white) and which are in darkness (in grey).

Yes. NO matter what time of day, day of week day of year, half of the earth is always in daylight. The half always changes, but it's always there.
