Question

In the winter, we experience shorter days, earlier sunsets, and longer nights. That is caused because:

Answer 1

Answer: The tip of the Earth (the Northern Hemisphere) is pointed toward the sun during Earth's orbit during the summer months, resulting in longer days. Since the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the sun during the winter, there are less hours of sunlight and shorter days.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

During earth’s orbit in the summer months, the top of the earth(northern hemisphere) is tilted toward the sun, giving us longer days. In winter, the northern hemisphere points away from the sun, resulting in fewer hours of sunshine and shorter days
