Why do the lengths of daylight and night time vary throughout the year?

Because the Earth is round, and because the Earth's axis of rotation is tilted 23 1/2 degrees as compared to the plane of the Earth's orbit around the Sun. So at varying times through the year, the north pole is tilted a little toward, or a little away, from the Sun.

The lengths of daylight and night time vary throughout the year due to the tilt of the Earth's axis and its orbit around the sun. During different times of the year, different parts of the Earth receive more or less direct sunlight, causing variations in the lengths of daylight and night time.
