If the sun appears to set a little earlier (or later) this Sunday, it is not your imagination. That's because depending on where you live, December 21st will be the shortest or longest day of 2014. Also known as the winter (or summer) solstice, it marks the official start of winter for the residents of the Northern Hemisphere and summer for those that live in the Southern Hemisphere.

            Does anybody seem to have answered the question "Why was the winter solstice an occasion to rejoice in some ancient cultures?". I read the whole article and couldn't find the answer to this question. In the video above it was so cool when I learned that in 3200 BC the light had raised up and went into the chamber. But why do the people have to wait like 11 minutes now? This was a great info article for kids. Sorry I have one more question . Have you heard about the animal Durango? (It lives at the poles).
