Why does daylight get longer in summer?

Light takes 8 minutes to reach the face of the earth and during the summer time, earth is closest to the sun. When the Earth has rotated, not facing the sun, the light still needs to take time to reach the Earth but the Sun is not in the radius of our position so it is no longer directing sunlight towards us. Giving the illusion of longer daylight.

Is a day on venus longer than a year on venus?

Because Venus rotates very slowly, with one rotation taking longer than one orbit. It takes it 224 Earth days to orbit the sun but 243 Earth days to fully rotate. Yes, but the "solar day" is only 117 Earth days,of course.
