The winter solstice is the day of the year when the Earth's axis is tilted furthest away from the Sun.
This happens twice yearly, once in each hemisphere, in December in the Northern Hemisphere and June in the Southern Hemisphere.
The winter solstice 2023 will be on December 21, 2023 and will be the day when the Northern Hemisphere receives the least amount of sunlight, and the days are the shortest of the year.
Our area it begins at 10:27 PM EST
