Eli5 Why does the “directness” of sunlight change its heating effect

Question

Bill nye says our change in seasons is largely due to the fact that the directness of the sunlight hitting a given place changes due to the earths tilt and position in its orbit.

Why does the directness of light create more heat (hitting at equator for example), while glancing light rays (hitting antarctica) produce less heat?

Another analogy: if you put your hand out the car windows when you are driving, you feel a stronger push from the wind when it is facing the wind. As you tilt it, you feel less pressure
