Why are rays of the sun slanting in the morning and evenings?
Because the atmosphere distorts the direction of the sun rays entering from a vacuum into a denser medium. The same thing happens when you do a "broken pencil" experiment: put a pencil in a clear glass of water and it will seem like it's broken. It's due to the same thing. It depends on the angle of incidence, rays coming from a sun at high noon which is perfectly perpendicular to the ground will have no distortion.

Why do regions that receive slanting rays of the sun have colder climate?
The amount of heat received from the sun at a place on the surface of the Earth depends upon its latitude or its distance from the Equator. There is a gradual fall in temperature as we move away from the Equator towards the poles. See- the following figure, We can notice that the rays of the sun are falling directly or vertically on the Equator. Thus they spread over a small area. Near the Poles, the rays of the sun are slanting and spread over a large area. This makes the area near the Equator hot and the area near the Poles cold. On the basis of heat received, we can divide the Earth into three zones. 23'/2°S by: vontamayosa

Why does direct sunlight produce more heat than indirect sunlight?
It is because the vertical rays covers the larger surface area where as the slanting rays does not.
