Winter Solstice on December 21st: the longest night of the year. The shortest day of the year, the longest night occurs today, Sunday, December 21st. The so-called Winter solstice is an astronomical phenomenon that occurs in the North Hemisphere when the Earth North axis is at the longest distance to the sun.
Solstice brings extremes of daylight and darkness. Earthâs orbit around the sun â and tilt on its axis â have brought us to a place in space where our worldâs Northern Hemisphere has its time of greatest daylight: its longest day and shortest night. Meanwhile, the June solstice brings the shortest day and longest night south of the equator.
