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 does the tilt of Earths axis affect the number of daylight hours and the temperature of the location on Earth?
The tilt on Earth's axis affects the angle at which light from the Sun arrives. Light arriving at an acute or low angle is weaker than light arriving more directly, say, at 90 degrees to a tangent on the Earth's surface. This is why the tropics are hotter; more direct incident solar radiation results in a greater heating effect. Since the Earth rotates on this axis, an effect becomes apparent where you would have more hours of daylight at the point on the Earth where the angle to the Sun is more direct, and fewer hours of night-time, and the opposite effect in the other hemisphere where the angle of the Sun is less favorable - more hours of night, and fewer of daylight. This tilt is what give rise to the seasons: since the Earth also revolves around the Sun in its orbit but the tilt is still oriented in the same direction, the hemisphere with more hours of sunlight will swap. At the very extremes at the poles, it's possible to have entire days of nothing but sunlight or darkness for half a year because of the Earth's tilt.
Which planet is 2.7 light-hours from the sun?
The planet Uranus is 2.7 light hours from the sun.
What is the average sun light hours in Melbourne?
Melbourne is Australia's least sunny city. Melbourne averages 2,200 hours of sun light annually or about six hours of sun light per day.
Why is the sunset clolourful?
Light is refracted through particles in the atmosphere when the sun is low in the sky. The low incident angle means light 'bounces' through the atmosphere and the viewable wavelength is affected. This light refraction effect is otherwise known as the "Tyndall Effect" (Wiki it for more info!)
What is the effect of the sun's light shining on the moon?
The effect is that we see the phases of the moon here on Earth. The reason for different phases is the angle and position of the sun and moon.
What unexpected ways does the sun effect us?

Does sun light effect a plants growth?
There are citaian essesntial of a plant one of them is sun light
What is the effect of the earth when facing the sun?

How are the Moon's light areas different from its dark areas?
the angle of the sun
When light reflects at the same angle that it hit the mirror?
This is known as the law of reflection. According to this law, the angle at which light hits a mirror is equal to the angle at which it reflects off the mirror.
Why is sky blue when space has no colour?
the sky is blue because of the angle of the sun. the angle of the sun changes the angle of the white light coming from the sun. at sunrise or sunset the red wavelengths reach us instead of the blue wavelengths.
How does the month of the year affect the amount of daylight?
The month does not effect it. The angle of the earth to the sun does.
