No, when it's winter in America, it's summer on the other side of the earth.
In the summer, days are longer with more daylight hours due to the Earth's tilt towards the sun. This results in shorter nights. In the winter, days are shorter with fewer daylight hours because of the Earth's tilt away from the sun, leading to longer nights.
Does everywhere on earth experience the four seasons?The Earth reaches four points on it's journey around the sun, the poles both experience four seasons, however some are longer than others.
Earth's orbit around the Sun is not a perfect circle; rather, it is an elipse. In winter (the northern winter; in the southern hemisphere this would be the summer), Earth is closer to the Sun, and moves faster.
Daylight time is shorter in the winter than the summer due to the Earth's tilt on its axis. In the winter, the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, leading to shorter days and longer nights. Conversely, in the summer, the Northern Hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, resulting in longer days and shorter nights.
Summer. It's caused by the Earth being at an angle to the sun (nothing to do with closeness to the sun).
In the summer, days are longer with more daylight hours due to the Earth's tilt towards the sun. This results in shorter nights. In the winter, days are shorter with fewer daylight hours because of the Earth's tilt away from the sun, leading to longer nights.
-- Spring-- Summer-- Autumn ("fall")-- Winter-- (repeat the list)The order is the same everywhere on earth.
Sunrise is earlier in the summer than in the winter. In the summer months, the days are longer due to the tilt of the Earth's axis towards the sun, resulting in earlier sunrises.
The tilt of the earth in the solar plane is responsible for this. In the summer the Northern Hemisphere of the earth is tilted toward the sun and and in the winter it is tilted away from the sun.
Days are longer than nights in the summer, and the reverse in the winter.

During summer, the Earth's axis is tilted towards the sun, resulting in longer daylight hours and more direct sunlight. This causes more solar energy to be absorbed by the Earth's surface, leading to warmer temperatures in the summer compared to winter.
This happens because the Earth is tilted 23.4 degrees. This tilt is the reason that days are longer in the summer and shorter in the winter. The hemisphere that's tilted closest to the Sun has the longest, brightest days because it gets more direct light from the Sun's rays.
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.
Depends on how far you are from the Equator. At the Equator, there isn't much difference either way. But at the poles you can have daylight round the clock during summer, and darkness round the clock during winter. And inbetween, the result will be inbetween too.
In the summer the part of the Earth that is summer is closer and in the winter it is farther away.
