This might be true more for amateur astronomers than for professionals. Professional astronomy is less dependent on that than they used to be. Astronomers deal with data that comes from radio telescopes and from other very sophisticated hardware.
Winter, a cold season.When nights get earlier and darker.
In winter, the sunset occurs earlier in the day compared to other seasons. This is because the Earth's tilt causes the sun to set earlier during the winter months.
Sunrise is earlier in the summer than in the winter. In the summer months, the days are longer due to the tilt of the Earth's axis towards the sun, resulting in earlier sunrises.
The best astronomical viewing conditions are on clear, calm, COLD nights when there isn't much turbulence to roil the atmosphere and spoil the seeing. The problem with "winter" in general is that winter is generally the rainy season,
Cooler, actually it can be down right colder both winter and summer. In the winter much darker. The far north of Canada has 6 months of dark and 6 months day.
for the summer, earlier than in the winter. each day it gets earlier adn earlier until winter.
The best chance to see the northern lights is during the winter months, particularly from September to March, when the nights are longer and darker.

In 2010, for northern hemisphere winter begins on December 21. For southern hemisphere winter begins on June 21. In 2011, for northern hemisphere winter begins on December 22. For southern hemisphere winter begins on June 22.
The sun is lower in the winter.
3 months
There is less humidity in the atmosphere in the winter skies than in summer. This makes the stars more visible and less distorted. This is the best time for stargazing because the skies are clearer.
