Why does the sun rise higher into the sky doing the summer months in either hemisphere?

During the summer months, the tilt of the Earth's axis causes the sun to take a higher and more direct path across the sky. In the Northern Hemisphere, for example, the North Pole is tilted toward the sun, resulting in longer days and a higher solar angle at noon. This increased angle means the sun rises higher in the sky, leading to more intense sunlight and warmer temperatures. Conversely, during winter, the sun follows a lower path, resulting in shorter days and less direct sunlight.
