vernal equinox
Don't count me on this, but in the summer the sun stays up VERY late, only about 4 hours of darkness up where i was. so I'm assuming it would be the opposite in the winter, so about 4 hours perhaps.
You have winter when earth is near the sun
Yes
earth is closer to the Sun during our winter
Yes. It is far enough north to have 24 hour darkness in winter, so the sun rises all year round in France.Yes.

24 hours in summer, in winter no sun at all
winter solstice
Yes. The greenhouse gases trap the sun's heat.
The greenhouse effect is the working of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere that capture and retain the heat of the sun. This has kept the atmosphere warm enough for life for millions of years. The sun's infra-red radiation radiating out from the warmed surface of the earth warms greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane and even water vapor.
The greenhouse effect captures the sun's energy and keeps the earth warm.

vernal equinox
Greenhouse gases like water vapour, carbon dioxide, and methane are not caused by the sun. They are warmed by the sun and they hold the heat to keep the earth warm. This is called the greenhouse effect.
Yes if the sun is shining or rises high enough in the winter sky. Not much use in parts of Scandinavia where the sun does rise at all during much of the winter.

it allows solar radiation to penetrate to the surface!
