The sun sets farthest south during the winter solstice, which occurs around December 21st in the Northern Hemisphere. On this day, the North Pole is tilted farthest away from the sun, resulting in the shortest day and longest night of the year. In contrast, the Southern Hemisphere experiences its summer solstice at this time, with longer daylight hours.
Why is 21 of June the shortest day of the year?
Actually, June 21 is typically the longest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, not the shortest. This day marks the summer solstice, when the North Pole is tilted closest to the sun, resulting in the longest period of daylight. Conversely, the shortest day of the year occurs around December 21, during the winter solstice, when the North Pole is tilted farthest from the sun.
At what point does the southern hemisphere have the least exposure to the sun?

The northern hemisphere is pointed farthest away from the sun during the winter solstice, which typically occurs around December 21st or 22nd each year. This is when the tilt of the Earth's axis is such that the North Pole is at its maximum tilt away from the sun, resulting in the shortest day and longest night of the year for locations in the northern hemisphere.
What occurs on June 20 in the Southern Hemisphere?

During which month does the sun appear to rise farthest north due east for an observer in New York State?
In New York State, the sun appears to rise farthest north due east around the time of the summer solstice, which occurs in June. Specifically, this happens just before the solstice when the sun's path shifts northward. During this time, the sun rises at its northernmost point on the horizon, creating the longest day of the year.
Does the sun only rise and set once a year in Antarctica?
If you are at the South Pole Station directly at the South Pole, then yes, the Sun will rise about September 21 and set about March 21, rising once and setting once during the year. For other locations in Antarctica, the Sun will rise and set each day for a period around the Equinoxes. For example, at McMurdo Sound, 77 degrees, 51 minutes south latitude, the Sun rises and sets each day between mid-February and mid-April, and again between mid-August and mid-October.
How many daylight hours in Antarctica in January?
Commonly, the 'shortest day of the year' everywhere is the day when there is the least amount of direct sunlight. On Antarctica the 'shortest day of the year' may contain no sunlight, because the sun doesn't rise -- or set -- every day south of the Antarctic Circle.
