    Summer days have more daylight than winter days because of the tilt of the Earth's axis. In summer, the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun, so it receives more direct sunlight and longer periods of daylight. For example, in June the northern hemisphere experiences around 15 hours of daylight, while in December it only receives around 8.5 hours. The tilt of the Earth's axis is what causes this seasonal variation in daylight hours between summer and winter.
