Tilted axis
the tilt of earth affects the sun's rays because if it is tilted the shaded part will not get the sun's rays but the other side will.

The earth's seasons are caused by the rotating earth tilting on its axis as it orbits round the sun. This tilting causes the sunlight to strike the earth at a low angle, causing winter in the hemisphere tilted away from the sun. Meanwhile, the hemisphere tilted towards the sun, receives the sunlight more directly, causing summer in the hemisphere tilted towards the sun.
It happens at the spring and autumn equinoxes as the Sun appears to cross the equator. March 21 and Sep 22.
Earth's tilted axis causes the seasons. Throughout the year, different parts of Earth receive the Sun's most direct rays. So, when the North Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's summer in the Northern Hemisphere. And when the South Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's winter in the Northern Hemisphere.
The Sun's rays strike least directly at the poles.
Energy is being absorbed AND being reflected when the sun's ray strike the Earth's surface.

The angle at which the sun's rays strike the Earth's surface varies depending on the Earth's rotation and its position in relation to the sun. This angle changes throughout the day as the Earth rotates on its axis and as the Earth orbits around the sun, causing different parts of the Earth to receive sunlight at different angles.
