The winter solstice marks the shortest day and longest night of the year. In the Northern Hemisphere, it occurs when the sun is directly over the Tropic of Capricorn, which is located at 23.5Â° south of the equator and runs through Australia, Chile, southern Brazil, and northern South Africa.
On December 8th, The Sun Goes To Bed Early. Next week, winter officially begins. The winter solstice, the time of year when the Sun reaches its southernmost extreme in the sky, will happen on Tuesday, December 21, at 6:38 p.m. EST. Though the solstice is considered the astronomical start of winter, many areas have already begun to see some wintry weather, including heavy snow near the Great Lakes.
