Snow and Shadows (B-1211)
During winter, the Northern Hemisphere leans away from the sun, there are fewer daylight hours, and the sun hits us at an angle; this makes it appear lower in the sky. There is less heating because the angled sun's rays are “spread out” rather than direct. (Shadows are longer because of the lower angle of the sun.)
