Spring means the same thing in geography as it does in common conversation. It is the season after winter. It starts with the spring equinox and ends with the summer solstice.
Folklore says it means that bad weather is coming mild winter last year. However, in reality it does not mean anything. Caterpillars cannot predict the weather.
Do you really mean solstice?If so, then 'solstice' refers to the summer/winter equinox that occurs twice each year when the sun is at it's greatest distance from the celestial equator.n.Either of two times of the year when the sun is at its greatest distance from the celestial equator. The summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere occurs about June 21, when the sun is in the zenith at the tropic of Cancer; the winter solstice occurs about December 21, when the sun is over the tropic of Capricorn. The summer solstice is the longest day of the year and the winter solstice is the shortest.A highest point or culmination.
Yes.
Solstice means day, Summer and Winter solstice is equivilent to Summer and Winter Day, meaning the changing of the days at that point.
That's the time of the June solstice, which is the summer solstice in the northern hemisphere and the winter solstice in the southern hemisphere.
The summer solstice in June and the winter solstice in December are the times during the year when the daylight hours are the longest (summer) and the shortest (winter). These dates are used to mark the official change of the seasons along with the equinoxes.
That will depend upon where in the world you are and which winter solstice you mean. In the northern hemisphere, the winter solstice is in December. What you would see at sunrise will differ depending on where in the world you are. People see different constellations in different parts of the world. In the southern hemisphere, the winter solstice is in June. Again, depending on where you are in the world, you will see different things. So there is no simple answer to your question.
if you mean least daylight then December 21, or the Winter Solstice.
Well, it is the Swedish word which corresponds to English Yule, the Scandinavian celebration of the winter solstice.
