The earth isn't perfectly straight up and down. It leans on an axis. So in the Northern Hemisphere between May-August tilts towards the sun and the Southern Hemisphere tilts away from the sun. This causes summer in the Northern Hemisphere because being closer to the sun helps to increase the temperature on Earth and the southern hemisphere experieces winter due to being farther from the sun. The opposite is true for winter in the Northern Hemisphere and Summer in the Southern Hemisphere.

Why is it dark in the winter and light in the summer?
You need to rephrase your question. It's not dark at midday in the winter, unless you happen to be in polar regions! You mean why is the daylength less in winter than summer. It's because the Earth is cocked over slightly compared with its route around the Sun. So in winter, it leans away from the Sun so gets less light than in summer.
