    Why are days shorter and nights longer during the winter season and vice-versa during summer?

    Answer:

    During the winter season in the Northern Hemisphere, the sun is vertical over the Tropic of Capricorn and the Southern Hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, so days are shorter and nights are longer for the Northern Hemisphere and vice-versa for the Southern Hemisphere. When the Sun is vertical over the Tropic of Cancer, the Northern Hemisphere experiences summer, days are longer and nights shorter. The Southern Hemisphere now experiences winter with longer days and shorter nights.
