If the Earth's axis was vertical - every point on its surface would have the same length of day and night, no matter what time of year it was. The tilt of the axis (to about 11 degrees) means that, as the Earth rotates, and travels around the sun, the length of day shortens and lengthens throughout the year.

The tilt of Earth's axis, approximately 23.5 degrees, causes variations in daylight hours and temperature throughout the year. During summer in a given hemisphere, that hemisphere tilts toward the Sun, resulting in longer daylight hours and higher temperatures. Conversely, during winter, the hemisphere tilts away from the Sun, leading to shorter daylight hours and cooler temperatures. This axial tilt is responsible for the changing seasons experienced in different regions of the Earth.

Day and night! We are diurnnal creatures, biologically, although extending the "daylight" artificially to suit our ways of life.
Because of the Earths atmosphere, the distance from the Sun, does not affect the temperature on the surface of the Earth. In the northern hemisphere, we are closer to the Sun in winter and the furthest away in summer.
It raises the temperature and makes it hotter through the greenhouse effect.
The color of the water is dark, therefore, it absorbs the sun's rays.

Has to do with the earths tilt and whether you live in the northern or southern hemisphere.
