What day would it be in midwinter for someone in the southern hemisphere?
June 21st, which the Summer solstice for those of us in the Northern hemisphere, is the winter solstice for those in the southern hemisphere. Their summer is our winter, their spring is our autumn, and so on. This is due to the ~24 degree tilt of the earth's axis of rotation, which stays at a static angle throughout earth's revolution around the sun. This angle is responsible for the amount of solar radiation (sunlight) a given point on the earth would accumulate throughout a day, which is a single rotation of the earth about it's axis.
How does the summer solstice occur in the northern hemisphere?
The summer solstice occurs in the northern hemisphere when the sun is at the most acute angle above the horizon. It usually occurs on or about June 21.
What is the tilt of the earth for winter?
In summer the suns rays travel directly to the surface at a steep angle, so are still warm. In winter the rays strike at a shallower angle, and cool down rapidly as they travel a longer distance through the atmosphere before reaching the surface.
In what season is angle of separation greatest summer or winter?

How many degrees below the horizon does the sun go at night on the winter solstice at latitude 57 degrees north?
On the winter solstice at a latitude of 57 degrees north, the sun will be about 33 degrees below the horizon at night. This is because the tilt of the Earth causes the sun to not rise above a certain angle during the winter months at this latitude.
How many minutes does each day decrease in winter?
Each day decreases by approximately 1-2 minutes during winter due to the tilt of the Earth's axis and the change in the angle of sunlight. This results in shorter days and longer nights as winter progresses.
