One of the most eventful times of the year is the winter solstice, which is marked by being the shortest day of the year and the longest night of it. The day happens with the the two opposite points in the sky to which the planet’s axis of rotation points change at a very slow rate, ultimately making a complete circle every 26,000 years.
The time is the winter solstice, which marks the end of autumn and the end of autumn in the northern hemisphere. For those in the southern hemisphere, spring will end and summer will begin, with days becoming longer for them and shorter for us.
