The current peoples view of light spread over a wider area for winter is seeming less likely.

Only in your view You can do an experiment with a solar panel. Hold it so it's front face is directly towards the sun, if you slowly rotate it so it finally has the edge pointing at the sun you will find the output decreases from a maximum when facing directly at right angles getting less as the angle is increased and the light hits at an oblique angle. No effect from atmospheric depth which is constant in this case. The important consideration is what effective area is pointing directly at the sun.
Nice try, if looking straight on it's the power of 10 cm wide, if rotated some it's only the power of 5 cm wide.Have you round one?
There's such a large difference between summer and winter but the earth is pretty much hit the same, it's only at a 23 degree after all
