What are the reasons for that?

It has to do with the 23 degree tilt of the axis of rotation. In winter, the north pole points away from the sun, making the sun lower in the sky at high noon. The lower position of the sun means shorter daylight the further north from the equator that you go. Above the arctic circle, the sun is so low at noon it no longer clears the horizon and you have a day or more with no sunrise. The opposite happens in summer when the axis tilts toward the sun.
Look up "analemma" and see for yourself what happens over the period of a full year of where the sun is at noon every day. ALL because of the tilt of the axis relative to the orbital plane of the sun and earth as we take our free annual trip around the sun...
