The same as the Sun does anywhere when it is the same number of degrees above the horizon. In this case, usually with some artifacts that are related to cold temperatures.

No, because it's daytime. You might see Venus if you know where to look, but that's true anywhere.

There is no night. It's daytime all the time. For established nations, the longest period is about 76 days.

There's no night, but those that hibernate are already doing so, the others have adjusted to the changes in the amount of light.

You won't see them. The daytime sky is too bright.

Here's an article that might help you with this phenomenon.
