On the spring of fall equinox, the sun rises directly in the east, and sets directly in the west, and the day is the same length as night. Between the spring and fall equinox, the sun is out for the majority of the day, and out the longest on the summer solstice. In reverse, the sun is out the least between the fall and spring equinox, and the least amount of daylight is on the winter solstice.

Can the aurora borealis be seen in the summer months when there are no 'dark' nights?
While the aurora borealis can be challenging to see in the summer months when there are no dark nights in regions of continuous daylight, it is still possible at high latitudes close to the Arctic Circle. However, the best time to see the aurora is during the winter when nights are longer and darker.
What happens to the length of days and nights in winter?
Days get shorter and nights get longer until the winter solstice, at which point the days become longer and the nights become shorter.
How long the nights are in January and in July?
In general, nights are longer in January than in July. In January, the nights are longer because the Earth is tilted away from the Sun in the Northern Hemisphere. This results in longer periods of darkness during that month. In contrast, in July, the nights are shorter because the Earth is tilted towards the Sun in the Northern Hemisphere, leading to longer daylight hours.
Are winter nights darker than summer nights?
If you live north of about 54 degrees, the nights are noticeably darker in winter than summer. This is because the sun goes much further below the horizon during the winter than during the summer, which means that in the summer "night" there is still light in the sky.

During these months, Polaris is high in the sky, making it easier to locate.
Why day is longer in Europe?
In Europe, daylight hours are longer during the summer months due to the tilt of the Earth's axis and its orbit around the sun. This causes the Northern Hemisphere to receive more direct sunlight, leading to longer days and shorter nights. This effect is more pronounced in northerly latitudes, such as those found in Europe.
