Because whichever hemisphere you are located in is tilted toward the sun. Depending on what point in it's orbit around the sun the earth is located at, the earth will be tilted either towards the sun, or away from it. In the summer, the sun is higher in the sky, and requires more time to travel from one horizon to the other. The days keep getting longer until the summer solstice, at which point the days start getting shorter until the winter solstice. The halfway points are marked as the spring and fall equinox.

Days are currently getting shorter in all of the northern hemisphere because we are past the summer solstice continuing to the winter solstice.

(near the poles there is a period of a few months where the sun never rises in winter, and never sets in summer)
