A solstice is an astronomical event that occurs twice each year as the Sun reaches its highest or lowest excursion relative to the celestial equator on the celestial sphere. The solstices and the equinoxes are connected with the seasons.
The winter solstice is the âshortest dayâ of the year, meaning the least amount of sunlight. The Sun reaches its most southern point in the sky at local noon. After this date, the days start getting âlonger,â i.e., the amount of daylight begins to increase. See our First Day of Winter page.
