1. This is because the Earth is not spinning upright. Since we learned that the Earth's axis is tilted and hence the equator is not facing the Sun directly, different places on Earth would experience unequal length of days and nights—not exactly 12 hours of day and 12 hours of night all the time.
2. The cycle of seasons is caused by Earth's tilt toward the sun. The planet rotates around an (invisible) axis. At different times during the year, the northern or southern axis is closer to the sun. The astronomical definition of the seasons relates to specific points in Earth's trip around the sun.
Hope it helps you ☺️
