Because the angle at which the sun's rays hit the earth is so small, it provides very little energy. If you were at the north pole in the summer, you would see that the sun only rises just above the horizon, and it moves across the entire 360 degrees of the horizon. It is never anywhere close to being overhead. This is why the sun provides such a small amount of energy that the temperature remains below freezing.
