Winter is cold because the sun is farther away. Summer is hot because the sun is closer. Winter is cold because when it is winter the sun is further away than in the summer. So in the summer the sun is close to the Earth which makes it hot.Dec 30, 2014
Why the winter is cool?
In the winter, when the northern hemisphere is pointed away from the sun slightly, the sun's rays come in at an angle and have less of an impact. This makes winter cold!
