Are you smarter than a 10 year old? I think iirc the days are shorter in winter because we are further away from the sun, as you know it takes a year for our planet to revolve around the sun, in summer its nice n hot and you have the long days and short nights but in winter its vice versa plus its fucking freezing

Its because of the earth's angle to the ecliptic plane (i think its about 23 degrees or thereabouts).
The earth is in a circular orbit and its not that the earth is further away in winter (or it would be winter all over the planet!). Its because the northern hemisphere is tilted away and the southern towards the sun and vice versa in our summer.
At the moment the sun is low in the sky as we are tilted away so the sunlight is hitting the surface at a much more shallow angle that if the sun were say directly overhead.
Hope this helps.
