The northern hemisphere receives fewer direct rays from the sun in January.
The Tropic of Cancer ... an imaginary line of latitude in the Northern Hemisphere ... receives direct sun rays on June 21.
Northern. That's why it gets colder in winter in the north.
If you are in the southern hemisphere, then June the midsummer month in the northern hemisphere is the midwinter month in the southern hemisphere. This means that the length of days are indeed shorter and there is less direct sunlight in the southern hemisphere in the month of June.
The hemisphere where it is summer. Northern in July, Southern in Dec.

Because of the earth's axial tilt the northern hemisphere receives more direct sunlight for half the year and the southern hemisphere receives more for the other half of the year. Neither is closer to the sun.
Whichever hemisphere (the Northern or Southern Hemisphere) is tilted toward the sun receives more direct rays of sunlight (or rays that are closer to perpendicular or a 90° angle). The hemisphere tilted toward the sun also has more hours of daylight than the hemisphere that is tilted away from the sun
the zone that receives direct year-round sunlight is the
Between March 20th and September 20th (or there abouts) the northern hemisphere receives the majority of the sunlight, while during September 20th to March 20th, the southern hemisphere receives more light. This is due to the earths tilt.
The equator receives direct rays from sun. It is present in front of sun.
There is no time between these. On the day before the autumnal equinox, the sun is directly overhead in the northern hemisphere (at a latitude just north of the equator). The following day, it is directly overhead in the southern hemisphere (just south of the equator). The sun goes from being overhead in the northern hemisphere to the southern hemisphere instantaneously, the change happening at the autumnal equinox.
Summer.- is that climate because it is when the sun gives direct rays.Spring it is at the half so it receives indirect and direct raysWinter.- is that climate because the earth receives indirect sun's raysFall.- it is at the half so it receives indirect and direct rays
If you are in the southern hemisphere, then June the midsummer month in the northern hemisphere is the midwinter month in the southern hemisphere. This means that the length of days are indeed shorter and there is less direct sunlight in the southern hemisphere in the month of June.
