Answer:
At the North Pole, the Sun rises around 22 March. At this time the North Pole of the Earth is in the Sun's horizon, when the Earth rotates due to its axis, only the North Pole would receive the Sun's light. At this time, the South Pole is opposite to the Sun, so the sunlight cannot reach here. Therefore, there is a 6 month day at the North Pole because sunlight exist here until 6 months .
On 23 September, the South Pole comes in front of the Sun and the Sun rises here for 6 months. At this time the North Pole is completely opposite to the Sun. In this way, the South Pole gets sunlight for 6 months. In contrast, the North Pole has night for 6 months.
