During summer, the days are long and the nights are short. During winter, the days are short and the nights are long.
The summer nights are shorter while the winter nights are longer.
I have that same question...but i believe from what I've read, it's most likely because of the earth's tilt. :)
The equinoxes are the days when the days and nights are equal. I.e. day=12 hours long, night=12 hours long. The vernal equinox is in spring and the autumnal equinox is obviously in autumn. They are sometimes said to be the start of summer and winter respectively.
Winter has the darkest nights, particularly around the winter solstice, which occurs around December 21st in the Northern Hemisphere. During this time, the days are shortest, and nights are longest due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. As a result, areas farther from the equator experience extended periods of darkness. In contrast, summer nights are shorter and tend to be brighter.
During summer, the days are long and the nights are short. During winter, the days are short and the nights are long.
The are actually the same lenght as the whole earth's winter nights if that makes sence
The northernmost countries of Europe: Norway, Sweden Finland and Iceland. The further north you go the longer the days are in summer, and the longer the nights are in winter.
I think that it in the North and South, that the days and nights in Winter are cold and long. Because I think this, is because the North and South are far away from the equator. Hope that helped. :)
The summer nights are shorter while the winter nights are longer.
The lengths of days and nights in the desert are the same as with any area of the world at the same latitude. In the summer the nights are short while in the winter the nights are long. Over a year's period they average 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness per day.
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.

Days get shorter and nights get longer until the winter solstice, at which point the days become longer and the nights become shorter.

Antarctica has its short days and long nights in June which is when it is wintertime there To see when Antactica has its longest days and other stuff about it, see the related link
