Answer 1

The slanting rays of the sun are less hot because the rays cover more distance to reach the Earth and spread on larger area.

Explanation:

Slanting rays travel a longer distance through the atmosphere and spread over a larger surface area, so they deliver less concentrated heat, making them less hot compared to direct rays.
