No, they're more direct in summer. That's why they heat more.

Is a true statement about during winter the suns rays strike at a greater angle than during the summer?

No, that's not a true statement. During winter, the sun's rays strike the Earth at a shallower angle, resulting in less direct sunlight and cooler temperatures. In contrast, during summer, the sun's rays hit the Earth more directly, leading to warmer temperatures. This difference in angle is due to the tilt of the Earth's axis as it orbits the sun.


Why do areas farthest from the equator have the coldest climates?

The further south or north from the equator, the shallower the angle of the sun's rays hitting the earth's surface. This means that the rays travel through the atmosphere further and so have time to cool. The sun's rays hit the equator dead on, concentrated, but they hit the North and South pole at an angle, so the heat is spread out over a larger area.


How does it change seasons?

This a response to the amount of time that the sun has to warm the earth in different seasons, and how direct the suns rays are on the earth at that location. In temperate zones the sun shines about 14 or more hours in the summer (daytime) heating the earth more than the other seasons and the rays are almost from directly overhead. Spring and fall have fewer close to equinox 12 hr day/ 12 hrs night so there is less heating. Winter the suns rays are more 'slanted' and there is only about 10 hours of daytime so much less heating.
