Angle of incidence. In summer the sun rays are more direct, so you get more sun light per square foot. In Winter when the earth is angled away from the sun, the rays are more slanted so the sunlight is spread out, so you get less energy per square foot. The closer you get to the poles the more pronounced this is, so the farther you travel from the equator, the colder it gets. Unlike the first two answers, the orbit of the earth around the sun isn't eccentric enough to affect temperature by more than a few degrees.

Some sunrays are maybe hotter during Summer and the sun is closer the provide it

The angle of incidence, and the density of sun rays per square feet are the key word. This is called the shape factor.( I recalled.)
The reason we have seasons is that the earth is tilted 23 and half degrees. That is, the plane of orbiting and plane of rotating(spinning)
intersects at 23.5 degree.When the northern hemisphere has more direct sun light, the southern hemisphere has more slanted sun rays. Use an orange as the earth, tilted it, and orbits in a circle, you can discover the sun rays has the different angles on the earth.

the position of the sun weather it is close or far from where you live this will impact the season. The season winter for the east coast is when the sun is far away from the coast. If it was summer for the east coast then that means the sun is over or closer to the east coast.
