Winter occurs at different times of the year for the northern and southern hemispheres, and both the seasons and duration of night are caused by the same thing! The earth rotates at a tilt in relation to how the sun faces the earth. During the winter, the sun is farther away from that part of the earth, and as such it spends more of its time facing away from the earth.
