The Northern Hemisphere's winter will begin on December 21, 2021 (Credit: Public domain/Flickr)

On Tuesday, December 21, Northern Hemisphere residents will enjoy the shortest day of 2021. Known as the winter solstice, it also marks the start of the astronomical winter season. This means that while the days following will grow longer, they will also be colder. Conversely, Southern Hemisphere residents will celebrate the summer solstice — the beginning of their astronomical summer — with the longest day and shortest night of the year.

            This seems cool, I've never understood how a Winter/Summer solstice works before! I live in the Southern Hemisphere so I will experience the Summer Solstice, reply/like to my comment if you also live in the Southern Hemisphere!
