Answer: The correct answer is C: "Location C because Earth is tilted away at this time"

Explanation: The question is "During a certain time of the year, the angle of the sun's rays at location C is smaller than the angle of the sun's rays at location D. Which location experiences cooler temperatures at that time?" Meaning that they want you to tell them which location is cooler. If there are less sun rays shining on a location it would mean it isn't that warm. The one the matches that is location C. I hope that makes sense.

Whoever sees this. I hope you pass!
