The increased length of the day in the summer season is caused by the tilt of the Earth as it turns on its axis, relative to the plane of its orbit. When one hemisphere (northern or southern) is angled toward the Sun, sunlight reaches that hemisphere "earlier in its turning" (rises earlier) and stays on that hemisphere "later during its turning" (sets later).

This occurs in summer, while the other hemisphere is experiencing the shorter days of winter. As the Earth orbits, its tilt stays the same, and leans the poles alternately toward the Sun or away.

*During summer, one pole is experiencing 6 months of 24-hour daylight, because the Sun's light is always on it. When the Earth reaches the opposite side of its orbit, that pole will have 6 months of 24-hour night, when sunlight never reaches it.
