because the area you live in, in the is more pointed towards the sun in the summer. but in the winter, its not. The Earth spins on its axis, but the poles of the axis actually rotate a little bit over the course of the year. I will assume you live in the Northern Hemisphere for this explanation. In summer, this hemisphere is tilted a little bit more towards the sun, so that it is higher in the sky and therefore actually takes longer to cross the sky, resulting in more daylight. In winter the opposite is true, with the sun taking a shorter path across the sky and shortening the days. beacauseof the way the earth is tilted on its axe. keep in mind that it is always opposite times on the other side of the earth.
The first astronomers thought they could keep time by following how long it took the sun to go from one high noon to the next. However, they soon realized the sun is not a good time keeper because the length of time it takes to do this changes with the seasons.
The Earth is tilted as it moves around the sun. It rotates around the sun every 365.25 days and spins on its axis once every 24 hours. The Earth's axis, a line extending from the Earth's north and south poles is tilted 23.5 degrees. As the Earth reaches a particular point in its orbit about the sun, the northern hemisphere tilts towards the sun while the Southern Hemisphere tilts away from it. The imaginary line that divides the Earth into the northern and southern hemispheres is the equator. Michigan is in the northern hemisphere. The season when we are tilted toward the Sun is out summer. During our summer, the daylight lasts more than 12 hours because the sun is at it's northernmost position from the equator. During winter, daylight lasts less than 12 hours for the north because the sun is at its southernmost position from the equator. The farther north from the equator you are, the shorter the daylight hours.
The day cycle stays the same for the entire year, but the sun stays up longer in the summer than in the winter. The winter solstice, December 21st, is known as the shortest day of the year because the sun goes down the earliest.
That depends on your lattitude. In summer, the length of the day is usually longer than the length of the night, but the length of the day can be anything between about 12 hours (close to the equator, lattitude 0) to 24 hours (north of the northen arctic circle, or south of the southern arctic circle).
No. In summer, days are longer, and the Sun is higher in the sky on average; THEREFORE it gets hotter.
Longer.
Yes

Ideally, the summer solstice is the day with the most sun. It's either June 20th or June 21st. It depends on the year, and what the government decides to publish it as. I've seen it vary a few times, but I've mostly seen it as the 21st.
Daylight.
Its GMT -5 hrs. CDT = GMT-5 hrs (i.e. if its 18:00 hrs @ GMT then it would be 13:00 hrs @ CDT) CDT stands for Central Daylight Time. Its basically Daylight Saving Time (DST) for Central Time (CT) which is applicable or get activated during summers only. You can say that CDT is the summer time zone for CT. Normally CT is GMT-6 hrs but due to this daylight saving it becomes DST @ GMT-5 with the saving of 1 hr. After the Summer months Central Time is shifted back by 1 hour to US Central Standard Time (CST) or (GMT-6). Regards Chander Sangra
Daylight Fluorescent lamps have bluish-white illuminance, whereas coolwhite fluorescent lamps have yellowish-white illuminance.
There is no such things as summer and winter equinoxes. You have spring and autumn equinoxes, when the amount of daylight and darkness are equal. In summer and winter you have solstices, when you have the longest and shortest days in terms of the amount of daylight. The equinoxes are when the Equator transits the Ecliptic making the Sun appear as if it is moving either North or South depending on what part of the Ecliptic the Earth is in relative to it's rotation around the Sun. March and September. Called the Spring and Autumn equinoxes and when one hemisphere is in the Spring Equinox, the other is in the Autumn Equinox. Same point on the Ecliptic. "Beware the Ides of March."
Summer in Australia is caused by the same actions that cause summer elsewhere across the Earth. It is caused by the tilt of the Earth's axis as it orbits the Sun. The way the Earth is angled towards the Sun at any given time of the year causes an increase or decrease in the number of daylight hours: summer is caused by an increase in daylight hours and a more vertical angle of sunlight.
In the summer, days are longer with more daylight hours due to the Earth's tilt towards the sun. This results in shorter nights. In the winter, days are shorter with fewer daylight hours because of the Earth's tilt away from the sun, leading to longer nights.
We have more hours of daylight in the summer because the sun is higher in the sky.
There are more hours of daylight in a day during summer than there are in winter.
winter has the shortest amount of daylight and summer has the greatest amount of daylight./
Summer
There is always more daylight during the summer months, which is what makes them summer months. Note, of course, that when it is summer in one hemisphere, it is winter in the other. Total daylight on earth overall varies little from day to day or season to season.
In summer generally, there are 24 hours of daylight; in winter there are generally zero hours of daylight.
Daylight Saving Time provided more daylight in the evening for farmers to work in the fields during the spring and summer months, allowing them to maximize daylight hours. This helped increase productivity and efficiency in their agricultural operations.
