 Position of the Sun

Winter solstice is when the sun reaches its lowest point in the Northern Hemisphere. In the case of the winter solstice, the days are shorter and the nights are longer because the north of the equator does not get direct sunlight on the earth.

Apart from that, the summer solstice occurs every year between 20 and 22 June. On the other hand, the winter solstice falls between 21 and 22 December every year. During the summer solstice, all days are longer than 12 hours and in the winter solstice, all days are shorter than 12 hours.
