why+is+there+more+daylight+in+summer+and+less+in+the+winter?

= The reason there is more daylight in the summer than in winter because of the Earth's tilt as it orbits around the sun. When it is winter the Earth rotated so the Northern Hemisphere is tilting away from the sun which creates less direct sunlight. The reason for that is because the angle the sun hits the earth at makes it so that there is the more atmosphere for it to go through. The winter solstice is when the Northern Hemisphere is tilting directly away from the sun causing there to be the least amount of sunlight then any other time of the year. During the summer the situation is the complete opposite. The northern hemisphere is tilting towards the sun. the result of that is the least amount of atmosphere for the sunlight to go through. when the earth tilts the most towards the sun we have summer solstice.
