Winter Solstice, the shortest day on Earth in the Northern Hemisphere, for the nations generally experiencing Winter Season, usually occurs on the 21st or 22nd day of December.
Winter Solstice is known with different names for different countries and regions, such as Hiemal Solstice, Brumal Solstice, and Hibernal Solstice.
It is a natural phenomenon of earth rotation and revolution around the sun when the earth’s north pole is titled to its extreme point on 23 degrees 26 minutes, at the farthest point from the sun.
Winter Solstice marks the shortest day on earth, which is usually around 10 hours 19 minutes, and 15 seconds
In ancient days, this day marked the “Mid-Winter” and helped in crop sowing time and sometimes harvest.
How to watch Winter Solstice?
English Heritage is a charity that manages and observes the phenomenon, and live streams the event “Winter Solstice of Northern Hemisphere” every year.
Winter Solstice is not a day-long phenomenon but it occurs at a point when the earth’s north pole is at the farthest position from the sun.
English Heritage also live streams the sunrise the day after Solstice, when days start to become longer because that is the moment traditionally marked as “Stonehenge”
