What first day of winter is called?
The first day of winter is the correct technical term. The winter solstice is a single moment each year that occurs between December 21 and 23 in the northern hemisphere. It is the moment when a pole is furthest from the sun. The hours of daylight change from getting shorter to getting longer. The day on which this happens is the first day of winter. Because it is difficult to determine the moment of solstice, by observation, to a precision of less than a day; the first day of winter is often referred to as the winter solstice. The first day of winter in the southern hemisphere lies between June 20 and 23 when the northern hemisphere is experiencing the summer solstice.

Season shadow changes. How do the seasons change the angles of the sun?
If the axis on which the Earth is spinning. one revolution per day, were perfectly vertical there would be no seasons. The sun would be over the Equator at all times night and day, summer and winter. However the Earth's axis is tilted. This means that during one year, as the Earth goes round the Sun, the Sun is only over the Equator on two days a year. The rest of the time it is either moving north to the Tropic of Cancer and back or south to the Tropic of Capricorn and back. So someone in England or USA would have the smallest,shortest shadow on the day the Sun was above the Tropic of Cancer (Midsummer Day) and the longest when the Sun was over the Tropic of Capricorn (Midwinter Day). The opposite would apply for an Australian.
