It takes 9 minutes for the suns light to travel to earth everyday, the sunlight shows around the world but the heat only reaches mainly the point facing the sun. For instance if we lived in Australia there would be sunlight but if we aren't exactly facing the sun we may not get as much heat as we would if we were rotated on the other side of the world.

It gets cold because... well how mr. kruse told us it is at an angle 23.5 degrees and as we go around the sun we get colder and warmer because somtimes we are at the top but as earth spins so do we and we might end up on the other side.

i don't think it changes distance. I think it has to do with the axis[/quote] it does have somthing to do with the axis, the air gets cold because we are turned away from the sun which causes winter  |

'' the sun's heat travels a very far distance so why does it get so cold on earth?  '' Because the distance witch we are turned away from the sun it cools down as it goes further out.  |

I think the Earth gets cold because even though the sun's lighting hits the Earth and there's heat, there is also direct and indirect lighting. The direct lighting makes one place hotter than if there's indirect light.
