How does the amount of sun light change in summer than winter?
The earth isn't perfectly straight up and down. It leans on an axis. So in the Northern Hemisphere between May-August tilts towards the sun and the Southern Hemisphere tilts away from the sun. This causes summer in the Northern Hemisphere because being closer to the sun helps to increase the temperature on Earth and the southern hemisphere experieces winter due to being farther from the sun. The opposite is true for winter in the Northern Hemisphere and Summer in the Southern Hemisphere.
