[00:00:00]Have you ever noticed how [music] in summer the sun seems to never set, but in winter it gets dark before even dinner? Why does that happen?

[00:00:10]Why [music] are days in summer longer?

[00:00:12]That is because the earth is tilted about 23.5°.

[00:00:17][music] When your part of the earth tilts towards the sun during summer, sunlight hits it for a longer time each day. That [music] means the sun rises earlier and sets later. But in winter your side tilts away from [music] the sun. So the sun takes a shorter path across the sky.
