Eh, your figure only has the Earth tilted at 45°...
But we actually have an example of close to 90° tilt in our Solar system.
Uranus is tilted 97.92° with respect to the Ecliptic and has a
15h34m12s rotation period and an 84 year revolution around the Sun.
  But to back to your simpler example:
* On the Equator, days would always be 24 hours long, but twice a
  year there would be 24 hours of Sun-set/rise - well the Sun would sit
  on the horizon.
* The poles would half half a year of "night" and half a year of "day".
* In between, the days would be 24 hours but the day or night part
  would progressively get shorter until a certain time of year (depending
  only on latitude) the Sun wouldn't set or rise until next spring/fall - just
  as is actually the case above the Polar Circles.
Elementary, my dear Watson..

What would really happen to the length of our days and nights over a full year ... I'm trying without success to imagine what would happen if the axis was at 90 degrees.. the earth would still translate , countries on the equator would have permanent...the poles a very long hot summer and cold winter    I give up..   Philip..
