What are you trying to ask? 6 months of nighttime as compared to what? No, Norway doesn't have six months of nighttime. I think you are confused and are talking about a phenomenon called "land of the midnight sun", where you can see 6 months of daytime at the north & south poles, not in Norway.
Wikipedia says ".... In Svalbard, Norway, the northernmost inhabited region of Europe, there is no sunset from approximately 19 April to 23 August. The extreme sites are the poles where the sun can be continuously visible for a half year." But that might be wrong. According to a book I've read, you can only see the midnight sun from middle of May until the end of July. I have been to Norway. When I went there, I can still see the snow on the mountains in September. I missed out on "the midnight sun" phenomenon because it was after July when I got there.
