That depends on whether you are in the Northern or Southern Hemisphere. If you are in the Northern, then your winter solstice is the summer solstice in the Southern Hemisphere. If you are in the Southern, then your winter solstice is the summer solstice for everyone in the Northern Hemisphere.

Why is winter solstice not the coldest time of year?

Earth is getting colder at that time. It does not immediately start getting warmer once the winter solstice is passed. It can be up to a month later, before it begins, so the month after a winter solstice is cold. For the summer, it is the same, in that the Earth keeps getting warmer for a time after the summer solstice, so the warmest temperatures are after the summer solstice, before the cooling process starts.

How are equinoxes and solstices the same?

IT's where the Earth is in preposition to the Sun. The summer means the days are GETTING SHORTER the winter means it is GETTING LONGER. Summer solstice 1. Sun shine vertically on the tropic of cancer. 2. South pole is inclined the north pole is away from it. 3. This position is on 21 June. Winter solstice 1. Sun shines vertically on the tropic of Capricorn. 2. North pole is inclined towards the sun and the south pole is away from it. 3. This position is on 22 December. _____________ Short Answer: In the northern hemisphere: The June solstice is the summer solstice and it is the beginning of summer. The December solstice is the winter solstice and it marks the beginning of winter. In the southern hemisphere: The June solstice is the winter solstice, and the December solstice is the summer solstice. In summer solstice the days are longer and the nights are smaller and In the winter solstice the rays of the sun is at the tropic of Capricorn in Antarctic zone and the nights are longer and the days are smaller.

Which lines decide duration of day and night?

Every point along the same line of latitude has the same amount of time between sunrise and sunset at any given moment. That amount of time grows gradually shorter from the time of the summer solstice until the time of the winter solstice, and it grows gradually longer from the winter solstice until the summer solstice. Also, higher altitudes at the same latitude and longitude will see the sun slightly longer.

The solstice is day of the year with the longest period of light (the summer solstice) or the longest period of night (the winter solstice).
