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.

    I liked this because we are learning about the lines of latitude in geography and linked well with this topic.Our celebration on the Isle of Wight is the Longstone on Mottistone Down.

        Wow that was brilliant I don't believe it. I had completely forgotten that in some places it was the longest day instead of where I live it is the longest night. its amazing how the capital of Argentina (Buenos Aires) has a 14 hour day!!!

          This is really interesting! The table is also fascinating because it is nice to know what it is like in other countries.

                I never knew that there was so much more to the Winter Solstice. Also, I never knew that it was a pagan tradition.
