The video explains why daylight varies throughout the year, focusing on the Earth's tilted axis. In summer, longer daylight is due to the Earth's tilt towards the sun, while in winter, shorter daylight occurs when the Earth tilts away. The Earth's axis is tilted at 23.5 degrees, causing different parts of the world to experience varying daylight lengths. When the North Pole tilts towards the sun, the Northern Hemisphere enjoys more daylight, and when it tilts away, it experiences less.
