Here's why:
* Earth's Tilt: The Earth is tilted on its axis at approximately 23.5 degrees. This tilt is the reason we have seasons.
* Summer Solstice: During the Summer Solstice, the North Pole is tilted towards the sun at its maximum angle. This means the Northern Hemisphere receives the most direct sunlight and experiences the longest hours of daylight.
* Winter Solstice: Conversely, during the Winter Solstice (around December 21st or 22nd), the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, resulting in shorter days and colder temperatures.
