The sun's zenith is higher in the sky during the summer months, regardless of which hemisphere you are in. At the 45th parallel the sun will rise to about 45° at high noon.

No it does not. Earth's seasons are affected by Earth's tilt. The earth is tilted 23.5 degrees so seasons are created by the sun's direct rays hitting different parts of the earth. Summer in the northern hemisphere starts when the sun's direct rays hit the tropic of cancer. winter occurs in the northern hemisphere when the sun's direct rays hit the tropic of capricorn. fall and spring begin when the sun's direct rays are at the equator. (By the way, summer in the norther hemisphere occurs when the earth is farthest from the sun)

Why does the sun heat up the earth more in the summer time than winter?

Reason is simple, we know earth revolves around the sun, in the winter earth comes closer to sun in it's elliptical orbit. The distance between the Earth and the sun during winter is more than during summer, that is reason why earth gets more energy from the sun in summer compared with winter.


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

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.
