Because the Earth is tilted on its axis. In the winter, the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, so the path you travel on the Earth is more in the dark. Note that this is not true all over the Earth. On the equator, the days and nights are always equal. In the Southern Hemisphere, it's the opposite of the Northern hemisphere.
