There are some things called Angle, duration/intensity of insolation( Incoming Solar Radiation). During the winter, the Earth is tilted away from the Sun, and you get the best, most-direct rays at 90 degrees, or when the Earth is tilted towards the sun. So already it is not as warm. Duration of Insolation is how long is it light outside. In the Summer, this is around 14 hours, 18 on the Summer Solstice. This allows more sunlight to heat up the Earth. In the winter, this is more like 9 hours.

Other things such as wind patterns, proximity to a large body of water, leeward vs. windward sides of mountains, elevation, and latitude can influence weather, despite the sun bright.

The moon shades the earth during the cold winter and that is what makes it cold?

No. What makes winter cold is the Earths tilt. The Earths "axial tilt" is 23.44 degrees. So, when it is winter, the tilt is away from the sun. when it is summer the tilt is facing the sun. when not facing the sun the tilt makes the days shorter, thus less sunlight and colder.

Why sun is cold in winter?

The sun is not actually cold in winter. The perception of coldness during winter is due to the tilt of the Earth's axis away from the sun during that season, causing sunlight to be less direct and therefore less warming. This, combined with the Earth's position in its orbit, results in colder temperatures experienced in the winter months.
