What part of earth is darkest at the s solstice?

At the winter solstice, which occurs around December 21 in the Northern Hemisphere, the North Pole experiences continuous darkness, known as polar night. During this time, the sun does not rise above the horizon, resulting in the darkest period of the year for that region. Conversely, the Southern Hemisphere enjoys its summer solstice, with longer daylight hours.

What part of Earth is darkest at the solstice and why?

If it the solstice is in northern hemisphere, then it is Antarctica, and if it occurs in southern hemisphere, then it is the North Pole.

Which parts of earth point at the sun?

Since earth is very close to being a sphere (it is an oblate spheroid) there really isn't any part of it that 'points' to the sun. The north pole tilts more toward the sun during the north's summer solstice and the south pole tilts more toward the sun during summer solstice in the south. But the earth's pole never points directly at the sun. The part of earth's surface that is closest to the sun (the part of earth experiencing solar noon with the sun at local zenith) will always be someplace between and including the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn.
