The Earth is tilted 23.5 degrees on its axis, so when the Earth revolves around the Sun, sometimes the Northern Hemisphere and sometimes the Southern Hemisphere is in front of the Sun. Therefore, the Sun's light does not fall evenly on the Earth.
This is the reason that there are 6 months day and 6 months night on the poles.
When the Northern Hemisphere is tilted excessively with the Sun, then this phenomenon is called the June solstice.
When the Sun moves from the Southern Hemisphere to the Northern Hemisphere, it is called Uttarayan and when the Sun moves from the Northern Hemisphere to the Southern Hemisphere, it is called Dakshinayana.
On December 22, the Sun shines vertically on the Tropic of Capricorn, so December 22 is the longest day in the Southern Hemisphere while the night is the shortest, on the contrary, in the Northern Hemisphere, the day is shorter and the night is longer. This is called the winter solstice.

After December 22, the Sun starts moving from the Southern Hemisphere to the Northern Hemisphere. Because of this, the days are longer and the nights shorter in the Northern Hemisphere.
On June 21, the sun shines vertically over the Tropic of Cancer. This day is the longest day in the Northern Hemisphere while the night is the shortest. Due to the rays of the sun falling vertically here, it is extremely hot on this day. This is called the summer solstice.
When the sun's rays fall vertically on the Tropic of Cancer, then the shadows are formed right below the Tropic of Cancer or you can say that shadows are not formed. This is the reason why these areas are called “no shadow zone or shadowless areas.”
