Today marks the winter solstice – the shortest day of the year. How many hours of daylight you'll see today, depends on how far north or south you are. Hobart, for example, will only get about 9 hours of daylight, while Darwin will see about 11.5 hours. Since the March equinox, the tilt of Earth's axis has been angling the southern hemisphere further away from the Sun. During the winter solstice the Sun sits as far north as it ever gets, directly over the Tropic of Cancer. The good news is that

Today is the winter solstice, which marks the astronomical first day of winter. Today, the Earth’s north pole has its maximum tilt from the sun, hence why we experience the shortest period of daytime light and longest night of the year. | National Geographic UK

Today marks the Winter Solstice, the day of the year when the Earth's Northern Hemisphere is tilted furthest away from the sun, meaning it's the shortest day and longest night. This animation, captured by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)’s GOES-19, shows a timelapse of Earth’s rotation from Oct. 3 to Dec. 20, 2024. It highlights the gradual shift in Earth's tilt relative to the sun and the changing position of the terminator—the line dividing day and night—as the Northern H

Today marks the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year in the southern hemisphere 🌙 How many hours of daylight you'll see today, depends on how far north or south you are. Hobart, for example, will only get about 9 hours of daylight, while Darwin will see about 11.5 hours. The tilt of the Earth's axis means that, as we make our way around the Sun, between the March equinox and the winter solstice, the Sun moves gradually further north in the sky, making our days in the southern hemispher

Right now. This second. December 21st, 4:20 AM EST. Winter Solstice. Earth's Northern Hemisphere reaches maximum tilt—23.5 degrees away from the sun. The precise instant when axial lean peaks and reversal begins. This isn't symbolic. This is geometry. At this exact second, the subsolar point—where the sun appears directly overhead at noon—reaches the Tropic of Capricorn at 23.5 degrees south latitude. The furthest south it travels all year. The boundary where southward motion stops and northward
