How does the length of daytime and nighttime affect the season change?

It all depends on your latitude. The closer you are to the equatorial latitudes, the more your days are equal in numbers closer to 12. In all other latitudes, the further you are up towards the poles, the larger the difference is of daytime and nighttime. At the equator, the days and nights are pretty much the same in summer and winter. But near the poles, summer is always in daylight and winter is always in darkness.


How does the length of daytime and night time affects the seasons?

The length of daylight or nighttime hours does not affect the seasons, but the seasons affect the length of daytime and nighttime hours. During the summer, the earth is tilted more toward the sun, resulting in longer daytime hours. During the winter months, the earth is tilted away from the sun, resulting in shorter days and longer nights.

Does California has a tropical climate?

We have a dry-summer subtropical climate, also known as "Mediterranean". Southern California's coast is sub-arid/semiarid, which is mainly made up of dry scrub and brush, and is very dry. Inland are the arid deserts. We really only have two seasons: cool and wet (late December through early June) and hot and dry (late June through early December). Daytime temps in summer on the coast are 80s, nighttime lows 60s. Fall daytime temps on the coast are 70s, nighttime 50s. Winter and spring daytime temps 60s, winter nighttime temps 40s, spring nighttime temps 50s. Inland is more extreme, with summer daytime highs in the 90s or 100s, and winter nighttime lows in the 20s or 30s.
