How will the angle of the sun effect the hours of sun light?

it is not the angle of the sun, but the Tilt of the earth as it orbits around the sun that impacts the number of hours of sunlight we experience in a day. During the summer the Northern Hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun and receives more hours of sunlight. Conversely the Southern Hemisphere is tilted away and it receives less hours of sunlight an they experience Winter. That is why the Artic regions experience periods when the sun may be visible all day long in the summer months and they have periods where no sun is visible during the winter months. The Tilt of the earth is approximately 22 degrees relative to our rotation.

How many hours of sunlight does the arctic receive in the summer months?

During the summer months, the Earth's northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun. As a result, areas north of the Arctic Circle (i.e. north of 66.5622° latitude) will experience what is called a midnight sun during the Summer Solstice - a phenomena where the sun does not fully set (i.e. there is 24 hours of sunlight on this day).The exact number of hours of sunlight that occur on other days during the summer will depend on where you the specific location within the Arctic circle and which day you are referring to. Between the Spring (or Vernal) Equinox and the Fall Equinox - days where all locations on Earth experience an equal number of sunlight and nighttime hours - the number of hours of sunlight will vary between 12 (at the equinox) and 24 (at the Summer solstice).
