No location, even in northernmost Alaska, has 6 months of day or night.
Only the North Pole or the South Pole will have 6 continuous months of daylight and 6 continuous months of night, because they are alternately tipped toward or away from the Sun. Only one half of a planet (sphere) can be illuminated at any one time. A pole, the end of a planetary axis, is either tilted toward the sun, and stays in the Sun as the Earth spins, or tilted away from the Sun, and cannot move into daylight.
Areas within the Arctic Circle or Antarctic Circle (a latitude of 66.6 degrees or more) will experience one or more days of 24 hours of sunlight, and conversely one or more days of 24 hours without sunlight. The closer one gets to a pole, the longer or shorter this period of continual day or night, which is popularly described as the "midnight sun" and the "polar night." The effect of twilight reduces the actual periods of nighttime darkness, but the Sun will also never rise very high in the sky even in summer.
Locations that experience the phenomenon are northern parts of Alaska (US), Canada, Greenland (Denmark), Iceland, Finland, Norway, Sweden, and Russia. In Svalbard, Norway, the sun does not set in summer, but circles the horizon from April 19 to August 23. Large uninhabited areas of Antarctica also experience extended days and nights, but only near the South Pole are they about 6 months long.

The spin of Earth causes day and night. The sun is visible from one hemisphere but not the other.
No "event" causes that.The continuous rotation of the planet on its polar axis it responsible for the progression of day and night.
The Earth rotates and when that happens one area will come closer to the sun which causes day and the other area that turns from the sun causes night
Not all of it -- only a tiny region near the South Pole experiences 6 months of continuous daylight followed by nearly 6 months of continuous night. The North Pole has a similar division between day and night, each lasting one half of the year. However, practically all of Antarctica experiences at least 24 hours of continuous day or night, and weeks or months of continuous day or night occur in various locations. *Because of the width of the solar disc, and refraction by the atmosphere, there are about 2 or 3 more days of daylight per year than there are of night.

In Alaska there is 6 months day & night
Yes. The reason Alaska has 6 months in the day and night, is because the Earth's axis is tilted. Meaning that Alaska is in the North and in the spring and summer it will point at the sun. In the winter and fall, the sun will point to the opposite way from the sun.
The rotation of the earth causes night and day.
The rotation of the Earth results in its day and night cycles. The exception to this is in the polar regions that have day and night for 6-months each due the Earth's tilt.
why the aera near fridgid zone has 6 months day and 6 months night
why the aera near fridgid zone has 6 months day and 6 months night
The Earth rotating causes day and night, it rotates every 24 hours. The Earth rotating causes day and night, it rotates every 24 hours.
Quote from a related question: "Alaska has the longest day of the year in the U.S. No sunset for 82 days in summer. Alaska also has the longest night with no sunrise for 67 days in winter"
The rotation of the earth on its axis cause day and night.
The spin of Earth causes day and night. The sun is visible from one hemisphere but not the other.
