Why is it colder in winter than summer?

Other than, "Because the earth's axis is tilted, meaning the sun's rays hit the earth at a shallow angle."

I need TWO reasons. TWO!

Respuesta :

one reason is because the short days and long nights prevent the earth from warming up, another reason could be because the sun's rays in winter are more spread out thus minimizing the amount of energy
Because different seasons have different temperatures.
