The winter solstice marks the official start of winter in the Northern Hemisphere, when the Earth’s tilt is farthest from the sun, resulting in the shortest day of the year.
The winter solstice has been observed for millennia, with ancient cultures building monuments like Stonehenge to mark the event. It occurs when the sun reaches its southernmost point, typically on December 21 or 22.
