How is the angle of sunlight hitting the Earth different from summer to winter?

In: Seasons [Edit categories]

Answer:

During the winter the sun light is more spread out through the earth. In the summer the sun light that is more focused on one spot. It also depends on where you live. The more North or South of the equator you are the cooler summers you have because the sun light spreads out. If you live on or close to the equator the sun light is not as spread out so the summers are really hot and winter warm.
