December 21 is the shortest day of the year, the day with the fewest hours of light, and the most hours of darkness.
On this day, the winter solstice occurs in the northern hemisphere, the point where the hemisphere is at its maximum distance from the sun.
This process usually takes place on December 21st, which is why it is also called the first day of winter.
As of this day, the days will lengthen until June 21, when the northern hemisphere is at the point closest to the sun, so it is the longest day of the year and is considered the first day of summer.
