Winter Solstice or December Solstice

Equinoxes and solstices are a result of two things: Earth’s tilt and its orbit around the Sun. Solstice,  the term comes from the Latin words  sol  and  sistere , meaning  “Sun”  and  “to stand still” . Initially, the naming arose from observations of how the Sun’s apparent path across the sky changes slightly from one day to the next, which is caused by the same process as the subsolar point's movement described above. In the months leading up to the December solstice, the position of  sunrise and sunset  creeps southward. On the day of the solstice, it reaches its southernmost point.

The  winter solstice , also called the  hibernal solstice , occurs when either of  Earth 's  poles  reaches its maximum  tilt  away from the  Sun . This happens twice yearly, once in each hemisphere ( Northern  and  Southern )....
