It is day when you are facing the sun, and night when you are not.
The seasons depend upon the maximum angle of the sun to the earth during the day. When the sun reaches it's zenith (highest point), that is the summer solstice--the day on which summer begins. Summer ends when the day and night have shortened to equal lengths--the equinox (equal night).
Solstice in the northern hemisphere is, incidentally, when the morning sun appears to "stand still" on the horizon. Every day in the spring the sun rises further and further south each day, reaching its southernmost point at the solstice.
The further north you go, the lower the sun falls on the horizon. At 45 degrees north, the sun reaches a height of only 45 degrees at high noon on the summer solstice.
The solstices and equinoxes, incidentally, mark the boundaries of the four seasons. That's why we say summer begins long after it has gotten hot, and winter doesn't begin until December 21st or thereabouts, even though it is cold and snowy long before then.
