In the summer in the northern hemisphere, the Earth is farther from the Sun because of the ellipse in its orbit, but the angle of the Earth's tilt points the hemisphere towards the Sun, making the days longer.

Why is winter longer than summer?

The southern hemisphere's winters are about 4½ days longer than their summers, and the northern hemisphere's summers are about 4½ days longer than their winters, because the earth travels fastest in its orbit at its perihelion, when it's closest to the sun, which happens in early January, and it travels slowest at its aphelion, when it's farthest from the sun, which happens in early July.

How does the tilt on its rotation axis relate to the change of seasons?

Our axis is *tilted* about 23.5 degrees from our plane of orbit... so, during our summers, the north pole is tilted *toward* the sun, and we get longer days, and more direct sunlight - heating the northern hemisphere. In the winter, it's the opposite effect, and we get much shorter days (and longer nights), and more indirect sunlight. This makes for cooler days, and colder temperatures.
