To me this is the strongest evidence yet that you don’t accept the
concept of axial tilt – am I correct in this?

So what is the angle between the plane of the earth’s orbit and the
axis around the earth rotates? Are you saying that it is 90 degrees or
some other figure? If axial tilt exists then I cannot see how variable
day night length doesn’t automatically follow.

On December 21st the north polar regions are in 24 hours of darkness
but ON THE SAME DAY the south polar regions have 24 hours of daylight.
How do you account for via any other mechanism other than axial tilt?

Where you live have you not noticed that the maximum angle above the
horizon that the sun reaches varies throughout the year? How do you
account for via any other mechanism other than axial tilt?

simultaneously with daily rotation."

Yes indeed we all agree that the motion of the Earth around the sun
exists simultaneously with the daily rotation. These two motions in
combination with axial tilt and the non-circular orbit accounts for
day and night, the variable length of day and night and the seasons.
