For the Northern hemisphere's winter, the Tropic of Capricorn.
For the Southern Hemisphere's winter, the Tropic of Cancer.
December 21/22 is the official first day of winter
The first day of spring is an equinox, as is the first day of autumn. Solstices occur on the first day of winter and the first day of summer.
First day of Summer is in June, first day of Winter is in November.
The winter solstice, which usually occurs around December 21.
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.
If the sun is directly over the Tropic of Capricorn, it is the Winter Solstice in New York, which occurs around December 21st.
For spring the tropic of Cancer, for fall the tropic of Capricorn (i think, because I'm pretty sure that summer it's over the equator, but I'm a little fuzzy as to where it is in the winter. but I'm still pretty sure the equinox's are over the tropics.)
When the sun's direct rays hit the Tropic of Cancer, it marks the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, resulting in the longest day of the year and the official start of summer. Conversely, when the sun's direct rays hit the Tropic of Capricorn, it marks the winter solstice in the Southern Hemisphere, resulting in the shortest day of the year and the official start of winter.
The Sun is directly over the Tropic of Cancer during the summer solstice, which occurs around June 21st in the Northern Hemisphere. This is when the Northern Hemisphere experiences its longest day and shortest night of the year.
The first day of winter is never in November.
What is the first day of winter in the southern hemisphere
Northern-hemisphere Winter begins when the sun reaches its farthest positionsouth, on or about December 22, appearing overhead on the Tropic of Capricornat about 231/2°south latitude.Southern-hemisphere Winter begins when the sun reaches its farthest positionnorth, on or about June 21, appearing overhead on the Tropic of Cancer at about231/2° north latitude.
December 21/22 is the official first day of winter
The sun's rays hit the Tropic of Cancer around June 21st during the summer solstice and the Tropic of Capricorn around December 21st during the winter solstice. At these times, each respective tropic experiences its longest day or night of the year.
The first day of spring is an equinox, as is the first day of autumn. Solstices occur on the first day of winter and the first day of summer.
