Use the drop-down menus to answer the questions. | Why is Earth cooler in winter than in summer? | How can the absorption and reflection of energy in winter be described ?

In winter, the Sun stays lower in the sky, so its rays strike the ground at a slant and spread their energy over a larger area. This means the surface absorbs less solar energy and Earth is cooler than in summer. The correct choice is “The angle of the Sun is low.”
