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.

Day and night! We are diurnnal creatures, biologically, although extending the "daylight" artificially to suit our ways of life.
Well if the sun is out for a longer time the temperature will be much greater than when it is not out as long, because the sun is shining for a greater amount of time. It varies though depending on the weather.

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.
Earth's axial tilt, approximately 23.5 degrees, significantly influences the number of daylight hours and temperature experienced at various locations. During summer in one hemisphere, that region is tilted toward the sun, resulting in longer daylight hours and higher temperatures. Conversely, during winter, the same hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, leading to shorter days and cooler temperatures. This axial tilt is responsible for the seasonal changes that impact climate and daylight duration across the planet.
