Why is December 21 the shortest day?

The winter solstice marks the day when the sun is directly over the Tropic of Capricorn, a line that is located at 23.5 degrees south of the equator and runs through countries like Chile and Australia, and is furthest away from the sun. The distance brings colder temperatures and less light.

How long is the shortest day of the year?
Eight hours, 25 minutes, 25 seconds — that's how much daylight Mother Nature will grace us with on Thursday (how generous of her). Thursday marks the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year.

How many times a year does the winter solstice happen on Earth?
The winter solstice occurs two times each year because Earth's axis of rotation is tilted 23.4 degrees in relation to the Earth's orbit around the Sun, according to NASA. When the Southern Hemisphere of the Earth faces the sun and experiences summer, the Northern Hemisphere experiences winter — and visa versa.
