I guess you didn't notice,that was talking about the Austin area,which is a looong way north of the border ,and considerably shorter summer. Geographical position on Earth has everything to do with the angle of the sun and stars,and also the length of daylight hours. For instance: Today I woke up in Detroit Michigan,it was getting daylight at 4:30am Eastern time,it wasn't completely dark until almost 10Pm.This time of year, the farther north you go, the longer the days are,because of the tilt of The Earth,in relation to The Sun.
Have you never noticed the difference while driving West to East? Winter vs. Summer?
