Hey mate here is your answer...

One hemisphere doesn't stay tilted closer to the Sun all year, however. ... In the Northern Hemisphere, the longest day of the year, called the summer solstice (SOAL-stiss), happens aroundJune 21, because that's when theNorth Pole is tilted closest to the Sun.

if useful then mark as brainliest....

Best Wishes..... friend!!!!!

Answer:

The people in the northern hemisphere experience longer days and shorter nights. This phenomenon occurs because the Earth's axis is not straight up and down at a 90 degree angle, but it is instead tilted a bit.

Therefore, as the planet orbits the sun every 365 days, sometimes the Northern hemisphere is closer to the sun (summer) while sometimes it is farther away (winter).

Explanation:

To explain why days are longer in summer and shorter in winter, first consider the two ways the Earth is rotating all the time.

It spins around its axis, or the imaginary line running through the North and South poles, every 24 hours so that part of the planet is always facing the sun (experiencing daytime) while the opposite side of the planet is not (experiencing nighttime). Meanwhile, the Earth is also orbiting the sun, completing its circle every 365 days.

If the Earth's axis was straight up and down at 90 degrees, the length of time spent facing the sun would always equal the length of time facing away. But it isn't.

Instead, the Earth is tilted slightly at 23.5 degrees to be exact. Additionally, this tilt is always pointed in the same direction in space, toward Polaris (the North Star), even as the planet travels in a circle around the sun. This means that throughout its yearly orbit, sometimes the Northern hemisphere is closer to the sun (summer) while sometimes it is farther away (winter).

Depending where you are on the planet, the difference in the length of day from season to season can be larger or smaller.
