Solution

The correct answers are:

  1. Daytime is longer than nighttime during the summer than during the winter.
  2. The seasons change throughout the year.

The Earth's tilt on its axis is responsible for the change in seasons and the variation in day and night times throughout the year. As the Earth orbits the Sun, the tilt causes the Sun to hit different parts of the Earth more directly during different times of the year.

The tides change throughout the day is not a result of the Earth's tilt. Tides are primarily caused by the gravitational pull of the moon on the Earth.
