On Wednesday, December 21, 2011, winter solstice will occur at about 9:28 p.m. PST.
The precise time of the winter solstice doesn't vary with location; it happens at a specific moment. For 2009, it is on December 21, at 11:38 PM GMT.Jalisco, MX is in the GMT-6 time zone, so this would be 12/21/09 at 5:38PM local time.
At the time of the winter solstice, the sun is 23.5 degrees south of the equator.That's 58.5 degrees south of latitude 35 degrees north.So, depending on your exact observing location on the 35th north parallel, the sun appears somewherelower than 58.5 degrees below your zenith, or less than 31.5 degrees above your horizon.(That's the highest in your sky that it can be, but it can be anywhere lower than that.)
NBC Sports will begin its telecast of the 2012 Pro Bowl on Sunday, January 29th at 7 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, or 4 pm. Pacific Standard Time.
it starts at the begining of summer.. earth is tilted toward the sun... i do not know the exact date but it is the start of summer
The time difference of PST from UTC varies between -7 hours in the summer and, during Daylight Saving Time in the winter, -8 hours. Exact daylight saving dates can be found at http://www.worldtimeengine.com/doDST/los%20angeles/ Current time can be found at http://www.worldtimeengine.com/doTime/los%20angeles/
The exact time of the winter solstice sunrise varies depending on your location, but it typically occurs between 7:30 AM and 8:00 AM local time.
After the winter solstice, the amount of daylight gradually increases each day. The increase in daylight varies depending on your location, but on average, you can expect to gain about 2-3 minutes of daylight each day after the winter solstice.
On the first day of summer (astronomical), usually June 21.Summer solstice: June 21-22 (day longer than the night)The summer solstice in the northern hemisphere is generally on June 21, but may vary a day earlier or later depending on the cycles of leap years. You can look up the exact time of the solstices and equinoxes each year on the "Earth's Seasons" web page at the U.S. Naval Observatory.

A solstice is a reference to a time, not a place, so your question makes little sense as worded (it's like asking "in which hemisphere is 'tomorrow' going to happen?"). Since the Summer Solstice is a time, it logically must occur in both hemispheres.If you are asking what the Summer Solstice is referring to, it refers to the moment when the Earth's Northern hemisphere is tilted most towards the Sun (June 21 officially, although the exact moment varies slightly from year to year). The Winter Solstice (Dec. 22) refers to the exact opposite situation
I think it happens on the winter solstice, day gets longer til the summer solstice, then night gets longer til winter solstice, gets shorter til summer solstice, etc. equinox= when night and day are same length winter solstice= when night is longest summer solstice= when day is longest Above is true in the Northern Hemisphere: in the Southern Hemisphere, the exact opposite solstices are markers of the length of day.
omg is this for ur science homework cuz i have the exact same page with that exact question on it!
It depends on how precise you want "the exact time to be". Solstice is referenced to the position of the sun and times are UTC, so subtract 7 hours for the time in Vancouver. (Of course, your question is now out of date) The following URL is a good source. If you want the time of the transit (overhead position of the sun) on the DAY of the solstice, determine your precise latitude and longitude (google will quickly reveal it, or read the coordinates using google-earth) and use the second URL http://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/EarthSeasons.php http://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/RS_OneDay.php pwoof@nisgaa.bc.ca
The beginning of Winter is marked by the Winter Solstice which - in our life time - has been on either December 21 or December 22. The date is gradually shifting. The exact time of the solstice does depend where you are located in the U. S. For Chicago, in recent years, it has mostly fallen on December 21. In the 2040's, it will start falling on December 20 every 4 years until 2081 when Dec 20 becomes more frequent.

The 'winter' solstice is a point in the sky among the fixed stars, at the celestial coordinates of 18 hoursRight Ascension and about -23.5 degrees Declination. When the center of the sun is at that point,astronomical winter begins in the northern Hemisphere, and astronomical summer in the southern.That moment will occur this Monday, December 21, during the 18th hour GMT ... I don't have the exactminutes and seconds. But whenever it is, it's the same instant of time everywhere in the world.
No. That would be an Equinox. The solstice is when the earth is tilted at maximum angle, (23 1/2 degrees) from the plane of the orbit around the sun. Either north or south pole is closer. The exact difference of night and day will vary depending on where you are on earth.
