Light takes 8 minutes to reach the face of the earth and during the summer time, earth is closest to the sun. When the Earth has rotated, not facing the sun, the light still needs to take time to reach the Earth but the Sun is not in the radius of our position so it is no longer directing sunlight towards us. Giving the illusion of longer daylight.
