The tilt of Earth's axis affects how the sun's rays strike Earth by:
Creating a complete shift in which hemisphere receives sunlight during different seasons
Changing Earth's distance from the Sun, making rays stronger in summer and weaker in winter
Causing the sun's rays to hit different parts of Earth at different angles throughout the year
Altering the rotation speed of Earth, which changes how long areas are exposed to sunlight

The tilt of Earth's axis influences the length of daylight and the temperature of a location on Earth by:
Changing Earth's overall distance from the Sun throughout the year, making all locations warmer or cooler simultaneously
Causing one hemisphere to receive more direct sunlight for longer periods during its summer while the opposite hemisphere receives less direct sunlight for shorter periods
Altering Earth's rotation speed, which determines how quickly day transitions to night in different locations
Creating gravitational variations that pull more heat toward certain regions depending on the season
