No.

Summer days are longer - if you're some distance away from the equator - because the Earth is slightly tilted on its axis. This influences how long the Sun will remain over the horizon.

Why are summer days longer than winter days on earth?

This happens because the Earth is tilted 23.4 degrees. This tilt is the reason that days are longer in the summer and shorter in the winter. The hemisphere that's tilted closest to the Sun has the longest, brightest days because it gets more direct light from the Sun's rays.


Why do days get longer in summer?

Because whichever hemisphere you are located in is tilted toward the sun. Depending on what point in it's orbit around the sun the earth is located at, the earth will be tilted either towards the sun, or away from it. In the summer, the sun is higher in the sky, and requires more time to travel from one horizon to the other. The days keep getting longer until the summer solstice, at which point the days start getting shorter until the winter solstice. The halfway points are marked as the spring and fall equinox.

Summer is hotter because the Earth's axis is tilted towards the Sun, leading to longer days and more direct sunlight. This results in more energy being absorbed by the Earth, causing higher temperatures. Additionally, there is less cloud cover in the summer, allowing more sunlight to reach the Earth's surface and contribute to the heat.
