It happens because the Earth rotates. So at any time, half of the Earth is facing the Sun, so it is bright and day time there and the other half is facing away from the Sun so it is dark and night time. As the Earth continues to rotate, parts that were facing the Sun are soon facing away from it and the parts facing away from it are now facing it, so everywhere gets day and night.

What happen to the length of the day on the earth If there is no atmosphere?

With no atmosphere, there would be no "twilight". Twilight is caused by the scattering of sunlight in the atmosphere. With no atmosphere, you'd go from "day" to "night" with nothing in between.


How earth tilts and orbit causes season and how it effects day length?

Earth's tilt at the 23.5 causes unequal temperatures depending on were the earth is in its orbit around the sun. Because of the tilt when it's winter for the northern hemisphere, it is summer down in the southern hemisphere. When it is spring for the north, it is fall in the south and so on. Earth's tilt does not rotate as the earth does. So when the Solstices happen (depending on where you live, northern or southern) creates the longest day and longest nights or it will create the shortest day and the longest night. The equinox's that happen in spring and fall are the only days that both day and night are the same(ish).
