Why do days get longer in summer?
In the summer, days feel longer because the Sun rises earlier in the morning and sets later at night. When the North Pole of the Earth is tilted toward the Sun, we in the northern hemisphere receive more sunlight and it’s summer. It is also the day that the Sun reaches its highest point in the sky.
Why does it stay lighter longer in the North?
In the summer months, the northern half of the Earth, where we live, tilts towards the Sun. This means we get more sunlight, making the days longer. During the fall, the northern half tilts a little bit away from the Sun and the southern half faces a little more towards the Sun.
