Interesting Winter Facts
"Polar and temperate locations both experience their coldest season during the winter season. It happens prior to spring and after autumn. Seasons are a result of the tilt of the Earth's axis; winter takes place when one hemisphere is pointed far from the Sun. The beginning of winter season is marked by different cultural definitions, a few of which base their dates on the weather.
In the Southern Hemisphere, it is summer season when it is winter season in the Northern Hemisphere, and vice versa. Winter season brings snow and subzero temperatures to lots of areas.When the Sun's height in reference to either the North or South Pole is at its floor, or when the Sun is furthest listed below the horizon when determined in relation to the pole, that is when the winter solstice takes place. After the solstice, the days get longer and the nights get much shorter as the season advances. This day has the quickest day and the longest night of any day.
The times of the earliest sunset and newest dawn beyond the polar areas vary from the winter season solstice date and depend on latitude. They differ due to distinctions in the period of the solar day throughout the year induced by the Earth's eccentric orbit (see earliest and most current daybreak and sunset).".
