The sun obviously isn't what changes--it is the tilt and location of the Earth at a given time of year. The angle at which the sun hits the Earth changes as we orbit around the sun and rotate on our "wobbly" axis. This wobbly axis affects the angle at which we see the sun rising and setting, and is the reason the sun's "path" through the sky changes depending on the time of year.
