The December solstice occurs when the sun is at its farthest south point as seen from the earth. This happens because the earth’s axis is tilted away from the sun at an angle of 23.5 degrees. The December solstice is the winter solstice in the northern hemisphere and the summer solstice in the southern hemisphere. In Ukraine, the December solstice occurs on December 21st or 22nd. The sun rises at its earliest point and sets at its latest point. The days are shortest and the nights are longest.
