Because the Earth is not straight up and down, it is tilted, and the part of the Earth that is experiencing Summer is the side that is tilted toward the sun at that time.

There are also more rangas in that part of the world.

we get more hours of daylight because the clocks go back and we get extra hours so it stays lighter.and that the moon gose throught faces and the sun it takes longer for us to go aroung it

Wow, what a mess. The changing of the clocks does not change the amount of daylight; it just shifts it in effect one hour "later" in the day during daylight saving time. The moon does not have any faces. There is no gose, throught or aroung in the English language.

Between the beginning of spring and the end of summer in the northern hemisphere, the rotational axis of the earth is tilted toward the sun, causing more of the earth's surface to be illuminated the further north you go. On the summer solstice, there is no sunset anywhere north of the Arctic Circle. On the same day, there is no sunrise anywhere south of the Antarctic Circle.

because the part of the earth that you are on is facing the sun, so for example at 5:00 it would be more sunny than it would if it were winter at 5:00. I hope you understand. If you dont then ask a friend or parent. : )

Why do days get longer in the summer?

(Lansing State Journal, May 15, 1996)

----

The first astronomers thought they could keep time by following how long it took the sun to go from one high noon to the next. However, they soon realized the sun is not a good time keeper because the length of time it takes to do this changes with the seasons. The Earth is tilted as it moves around the sun. It rotates around the sun every 365.25 days and spins on its axis once every 24 hours. The Earth's axis, a line extending from the Earth's north and south poles is tilted 23.5 degrees. As the Earth reaches a particular point in its orbit about the sun, the northern hemisphere tilts towards the sun while the Southern Hemisphere tilts away from it. The imaginary line that divides the Earth into the northern and southern hemispheres is the equator. Michigan is in the northern hemisphere. The season when we are tilted toward the Sun is out summer. During our summer, the daylight lasts more than 12 hours because the sun is at it's northernmost position from the equator. During winter, daylight lasts less than 12 hours for the north because the sun is at its southernmost position from the equator. The farther north from the equator you are, the shorter the daylight hours.

Because the axis of the Earth is tilted. The farther you are from the equator the more sun you get during the summer months.

because the sun is pointing more directly at the hemisphere it is summer on.

In what month would Utah have the greatest number of daylight hours per day?

June


How many hours of sunlight in the winter are there?

The answer really depends on the season Iceland is in. There is no exact count for each season cause the days change. It is different from where people who for example live in Texas. During the winter some days it can be rare to see sunlight. In the summer it's the exact opposite. There could be 24 hours of sunlight one day. That commonly happens in Alaska as well.


How long the sun shines on a clear day?

Between 0 and 24 hours per day. That depends on where you are and when you do your measurement. Far enough north of the polar circle there are weeks when the Sun never "sets" during the summer and when it never "rises" during the winter.At the equator on the equinox the theoretical sunshine duration is 12 hours.


How does the length of daylight change from Summer to Winter?

Well. June 21st or June 22nd every year is the longest day (most hours of sunlight), and December 21st or 22nd every year is the longest night (least hours of sunlight). So there is a 'shortening' of the period of light per day from June to December, and this reverses from December to June.


What is the longest daylight day of the year in the US?

It's commonly referred to as "Mid-Summers Night Eve" or "The Summer Solstice" and it usually happens on or around the 21st of June. This is the longest day and the shortest night of the year. From this day on the days get shorter and the nights longer until the Winter Solstice which is the other way around; the shortest day and the longest night of the year after which the days start getting longer and nights shorter.

Why do we get more hours of daylight per day in the summer?

Because the earth's axis is tilted from the vertical by 11 degrees. That means - in the summer, the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun - giving longer days.


Which side of earth is in day light?

Whatever answer I give you will be wrong in 12 hours. The Earth spins on its axis every 24 hours, so each side of the planet gets about 12 hours of day light per day. (Less in winter, and more in summer, due to the 23 degreetilt of the axis.)

Because you turn the clock back a whole hour. Also, the Earth is tilted on its axis, so countries in the northern hemisphere will experience less sunlight during the winter months and more sunlight during the summer.
