winter solstice
The winter solstice is an astronomical event that occurs once a year, marking the shortest day and longest night of the year. It happens when the tilt of the Earth's axis is farthest away from the sun, causing the sun to reach its lowest point in the sky at noon. In the Northern Hemisphere, it usually occurs on December 21 or 22, while in the Southern Hemisphere, it usually occurs on June 21 or 22. The winter solstice marks the beginning of winter.
