![]() ![]() It's the First Day of Astronomical Winter It's also common to call it the day the Sun turns around. The Sun seems to stand still at the Tropic of Capricorn and then reverses its direction. The term solstice comes from the Latin word solstitium, meaning 'the Sun stands still.' This is because on this day, the Sun reaches its southern-most position as seen from the Earth. The last December 23 solstice was in 1903 and will not happen again until 2303. The December solstice can happen on December 20, 21, 22, or 23, though December 20 or 23 solstices are rare. On the June solstice, the Sun is directly overhead the Tropic of Cancer (latitude 23° 30′ North) in the Northern Hemisphere, while on the December solstice, the Sun shines directly over the Tropic of Capricorn (latitude 23° 30′ South) in the Southern Hemisphere. Solstices happen twice a year-once around June 21 and then again around December 21.
