But when we talk about day and night, we are using “day” to the time between sunrise and sunset(日落). Since the earth looks like a ball, the sun can shine on only half of it at a time. Always one half of the earth is having day and the other half night. A place is move from day into night and from night into day over and over(周而复始地) by the spinning（旋转） of the earth.

For six months the North Pole(极) is titled(倾斜) toward the sun. In those months the Northern Hemisphere(半球) gets more hours of sunlight than the Southern Hemisphere. Days are longer than nights. South of the equator nights are longer than days. For the other six months the North pole is titled away from the sun. Then the Southern Hemisphere gets more sunlight. Days are longer than nights.
