Why are the days in summer long and nights short while in winter days are short and nights are long?
Assuming you're in the United States, the longest day of the year is the first day of summer. The shortest day of the year is the first day of winter. Daylight hours get progressively shorter after the first day of summer until they reach their shortest, again this being the first day of winter. Therefore, the last day of autumn is the day before the day with the shortest number of daylight hours. So to answer your question, autumn does contain some days in December with the shortest number of daylight hours in the entire year. Hope that helps.
What is the relationship between the inclination of the earth's axis and the length of days and nights?
During the middle of Summer in the Northern Hemisphere, the North Pole is tilted towards the Sun. Because of this, the Sun shines upon a greater length of each line of latitude in the Northern Hemisphere, causing longer days and shorter nights. Above the Arctic Circle there will be 24 hours of sunlight and no nighttime at all. The reverse will be happening in the Southern hemisphere at this time.

Can you predict seasons?
The seasons are already figured out . . . the seasons change on the equinoxes (days and nights of equal length) and on the soltices (days and nights are the most different in length)
What season are long days and short nights?
The shortest day of the year is the first day of Winter, but the days start to get longer through the first day of Spring - when days and nights are equal - until the first day of Summer, which is the longest day and shortest night. From there, the days start to shorten through the first day of Autumn (or Fall) when the days and nights are again equal. The days continue to shorten until the first day of Winter when the cycle repeats itself. So, the seasons that have days that are shorter than nights will be Autumn and Winter. Typically, its the winter season.
