@mindyourbizok - As anthonykrese said, Day and Night cycles is caused be the earth's rotation. BUT, you arent all wrong. At Winter, in the most Northern parts (etc. Northern scandinavia) the sun doesn't shine for up to a couple of months. Referred to as Polar Nights. ;) In the summer its the opposite. Then there is basically day all day long. ^^ For example, in Svalbard (Norway) there aren't any sunsets from 19 april til 23. August. This is also referred to Midnight Sun

@mindyourbizok - The tilt does not cause day and night. Day and night is caused from the earth spinning. One spin around equals one day. Watch the video from about :55 seconds and you'll see the earth spinning. Yes, the northern hemisphere is farther away but it's still getting hit by the sun.

I'm confused. The earth's tilt causes seasons and day and night. How does all this tie in. When the southern hemisphere is closest to the sun, how do you explain the northern side getting day light?

Nasa, Richard GrossThe quake also shifted the position of the Earth's "figure" axis (which is different from the planet's north-south axis). This shift in Earth's figure axis will cause Earth to wobble a bit differently as it rotates, but it won't cause a shift of the Earth's axis in space -- only external forces such as the gravitational attraction of the sun, moon and planets could do that.
