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.
In the northern hemisphere, the longest day of the year is 21st June and the shortest day is 22nd December. The exact date can vary by a day or so. The same dates apply in the southern hemisphere, but with longest and shortest reversed. The summer solstice is the longest day of the year; the winter solstice is the shortest. In the northern hemisphere, the summer solstice is generally June 21, and the winter solstice is December 21. (Reverse these for the southern hemisphere.)
