- December 21 is recognised as the shortest day and the longest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere.
- This is a specific moment in time when the Earth's axial tilt is farthest away from the sun. This tilt, at approximately 23.4 degrees.
- It means that the North Pole is angled at its maximum distance from the sun.
- This causing sunlight to spread thinly over the hemisphere and creating the shortest path through the sky.
