Summer Solstice and Winter Solstice
In the tundra, average daytime temperatures can range from 37-54°F (3-12°C) during the summer months, while nighttime temperatures can drop significantly, averaging around 14-32°F (-10 to 0°C). During the winter, temperatures can plummet to well below freezing, with daytime highs around 5-14°F (-15 to -10°C) and nighttime lows dropping even further.
The longest season is typically summer, with the most hours of daylight and warmth due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. In the Northern Hemisphere, summer lasts from June to September.
June 21st and December 21st, the shortest and longest nights of the year.
The first day of summer is known as the summer solstice, while the first day of winter is called the winter solstice. These solstices occur when the sun reaches its highest or lowest position in the sky, resulting in the longest or shortest day of the year.
Summer typically has more daylight hours than winter due to the Earth's tilt and position in its orbit. During the summer solstice, the Northern Hemisphere receives the most daylight hours, while during the winter solstice, the Northern Hemisphere receives the fewest daylight hours.
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.
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.
The longest day in the northern hemisphere is June 21.The longest day in the southern hemisphere is December 21.Both dates are in the summer season, which is opposite the winter season in each hemisphere.
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.
Because in the summer the constellation would be in the daytime sky.
Summer solstice the days in the northern hemisphere are longest and the nights are shortest. But in the winter solstice in the northern hemisphere the days are shortest and the nights are longest.
Summer solstice the days in the northern hemisphere are longest and the nights are shortest. But in the winter solstice in the northern hemisphere the days are shortest and the nights are longest.

Orion is behind the sun in the summer sky - which is why you can't see it. Orion is visible during winter nights, in the Northern Hemisphere.
