Bismillahi
Walaikum assalam
I thought it means those part of earth where days are longer like that goes for months, that is polar region, Greenland, Norway, northern Finland. I think a normal day comprise of time of daylight and night. In some places there will be daylight for 6 months continuously and night for 6 months and so 1 year is like one day=daylight+night and in some regions, day light and night will extend for weeks and so on. In other regions, it will be like normal days, like Asia, middle east and so on. This is what I read somewhere. The sahabahs were concerned of prayers in such regions as normally the time of prayers is based on sun and the Prophet SAW replied what is given in the hadith Allahu alam.
