Question

Why do we experience different day lengths in Summer and Winter please?

Answer 1

This is not a weather question its astronomical. It's to do with the angle at which the earth is titled to the sun, which changes during the earth's orbit. During the northern hemisphere's summer the northern hemisphere is inclined more to the sun and the southern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun. In the northern winter it's the opposite. The time at which the sun inclines at the most in one hemisphere is the solstice, there are two of these each year. That's when the days are longest in one hemisphere and shortest in the other.

Answer 2

The earth's axis is tilted in relation to its orbit around the sun. As the earth orbits the sun, the Northern and the Southern hemispheres are slightly pointed towards the sun or away from it, depending on the earth's position in its orbit. The hemisphere that gets pointed at the sun gets more daylight and longer days, resulting in summer in that hemisphere. The opposite hemisphere will be pointed away from the sun at that time, and will get less of sunlight and shorter days, resulting in winter.
