Winter Solstice 2018 (Southern Hemisphere)
This Doodle’s Key Themes
Time to get cracking on those to-do lists, for today marks the shortest day of the year.
Winter Solstice in the Southern Hemisphere all comes down to one moment in time when the sun reaches its northernmost point and the North Pole tilts directly toward the sun at about 23.4 degrees (but who’s counting?).
You may feel pressed for time these next few days, but not to fear - the days will only get longer as the Earth continues to orbit and the Southern Hemisphere gets closer to the Sun as it approaches the December summer solstice.
So while we’ve still got time to spare, let’s take a look at what our neighbors to the North are doing their longest day of the year.
