Solution

Due to the inclination of the Earth’s axis, the lengths of day and night are not the same throughout the year at different places on the globe. Due to this inclination, the Northern Hemisphere remains inclined towards the Sun for half of the year and the Southern Hemisphere remains so for the other half of the year.
