The Earth rotates on its axis, creating daytime for the side exposed to the Sun and nighttime for the side away from the Sun.

Explanation:

However, the earth’s axis is not at a 90-degree angle with respect to its orbit. The axis is tilted at about 23.5 degrees. This tilt is responsible for the fact that days and nights are not the same along the different latitudes at different seasons.

The north pole may be orientated towards the sun in some season and away from the sun in some seasons. This applies to the South poles. When oriented towards the sun, the polar regions tend to have longer daylights than nights. When oriented away from the sun, these regions experience longer nights than daylights. Nonetheless, all days across the earth are 24hours long.
