The sun appears higher in the sky during summer and lower during winter due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. In summer, the Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the sun, resulting in longer days and more direct sunlight. Conversely, in winter, the hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, leading to shorter days and less direct sunlight. This axial tilt creates the seasonal variations in sunlight that we experience throughout the year.

What happems to the height of the sun in summer and winter?
it is 'bigger' in summer. although the arc remains roughly the same, you are just seeing the tip of the arc in winter, and more of the same arc in summer. in very northern or southern places, winter can mean not seeing any arc of the sun whatsoever (totally dark for days or months) or seeing part of the arc constantly (meaning the sun is always up in summer or always down in winter, such as antarctica and parts of far north Canada and Greenland)
Why does the sun heat up the earth more in the summer time than winter?
Reason is simple, we know earth revolves around the sun, in the winter earth comes closer to sun in it's elliptical orbit. The distance between the Earth and the sun during winter is more than during summer, that is reason why earth gets more energy from the sun in summer compared with winter.

earth is closer to the Sun during our winter
Why is a person paler in the winter and more brighter in the summer?
Most people do not get exposed to the sun in the winter because we cover up.
Why does the height of the sun at midday change throughout the year?
Because our elliptical orbit is closest to the sun in summer than in winter, when it is winter we are above the sun and when it's summer and we are below the sun
Why is a shadow longer in the summer than winter?
In the summer, the sun is higher in the sky, casting shadows that are shorter. In the winter, the sun is lower in the sky, creating longer shadows. This difference in the angle of the sun's rays causes the length of shadows to vary between the seasons.
What is the difference of the sun in the summer and the winter?
not sure

In any one place, every object has a longer shadow in winter than it has in summer. That fact is an important clue to the reasons for winter and summer.

When its "summer time " the earth is facing toward the sun , and when it is winter the earth is facing away from the sun .
Why does the sunrise earlier in the summer then the winter?
The sunrise occurs earlier in the summer than in the winter due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. In the summer, the Northern Hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun, which causes the Sun to rise earlier. In contrast, the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun in the winter, resulting in later sunrises.
Is it fall spring winter or summer when the earth is tilted away from the sun?
Winter!
Why is the sun higher in the sky in the the summer and lower in the winter?
why the sun is higher in summer is because the earths top of the axis is pointed to the sun which makes this hotter and in winter the axis is pointed away from the sun which makes it colder
