If you stand on the North Pole, then one day, you have no sun, the next day it’s 12 hours, and the next day it’s 24 hours of sun. Or maybe at most it takes a week to transition. That’s insane.

That's a little misleading though. The sun goes from just below the horizon to just above the horizon. Even though you have 0h of direct sunlight that first day the sky will still be lit up from light reflecting off the clouds.
