Solution

The correct answer is B. higher; longer. During the summer, the Sun appears higher in the sky and is visible for a longer period of time each day compared to winter. This is due to the tilt of the Earth's axis and its revolution around the Sun, which causes the Sun's apparent position in the sky to change and affects the length of daylight we experience.
