What is the difference between the position of the sun at mid day on a winters day and mid day on a summers day?

The position of the sun at midday on a winter's day is lower in the sky compared to midday on a summer's day. This is due to the tilt of the Earth's axis, which causes the sun's angle to change throughout the year. In winter, the sun's lower position results in shorter days and less direct sunlight.
