English term or phrase: the sun is lower in the sky
Hello.
How would you translate "the sun is lower in the sky"?

It’s a little hot today, but the sun is lower in the sky and the night was almost too cold, so the sun feels delicious on my skin, not July-oppressive.

Persian (Farsi) translation:خورشید در آسمان پایین‌تر است
Explanation:
In Persian we always say the same sentence during winter. The text is not a sientific text so, on my humble opinion, we don't need to use سطح افق and so on. In Persian we simply say: امروز هوا گرمتر شده چون خورشید توی آسمان پایین‌تر آمده.

Asker: I totally agree with you on not needing to use "سطح افق" as the context is an informal one.

خورشید با زاویه کمتر نسبت به افق می تابد


Explanation:
When the sun is lower in the sky?
The winter solstice is around December 21, marking the date on which the Sun is lowest in the sky at noon and rises and sets farthest south. The day of the summer solstice is the longest day of the year, and the day of the winter solstice is the shortest day of the year.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you. Technically, it well describes the concept. But, would you ever say such a thing in an informal setting?

Asker: I appreciate your help. I was just wondering if saying such a sentence sounds natural in "an informal setting".
