21 December
The shortest day in Adelaide, as everywhere else in the Southern Hemisphere, is around June 22, depending on the year.
I think that would be the winter solstice or the first day of winter.
No, it's not.The day with the shortest time from sunup to sundown is the Winter Solstice, which in the Northern Hemisphere usually falls within a day of December 21. In the Southern Hemisphere, this same date will be the longest day of the year.
Brumal is the name of the shortest day of the year
Yes. Longest day of the year in one hemisphere, and shortest day of the year in the other hemisphere. So our summer solstice on June 21 is the longest day in Europe or America, but the shortest day for the Australians.
The shortest day in Adelaide tends to occur on 21 June each year. This is the winter solstice, and it is the shortest day throughout Australia.
An equinox is not the shortest day. It has the same amount of daylight and darkness. The solstices have the longest and shortest days. The winter solstice is the shortest day of the year in terms of the amount of daylight.
Because it is the shortest day of the year.
In the northern hemisphere the shortest day would be the 21st of December.
No. It has equal amounts of daylight and darkness. A winter solstice has the least amount of daylight and can be regarded as the shortest day of the year. If your clocks go forward once a year, then that particular day has 23 hours, so that could also be said to be the shortest day of the year.
