This is the real Christmas. The light of the world begins its return to glory (in the northern hemisphere) and brings new life to the world. A solstice is the same as the story of Christ being crucified and resurrected 3 days and nights later.

[@simonpersson7495]

Where I live we are in the darkest period right now. We have 19,5 hours less sunlight per day compared to the brightest day in the summer. Sun goes up 9.50, and sets at 13.15 in the afternoon. Really depressing in the winter, but the summers makes up for everything. The sun never sets in the summer :)

[@RevenantCheetosx]

Sounds depressing both ways! I want darkness to nap.

Without the incessant music I’m not sure I would have fully understood the explanation..

[@godfatherNYC]

This means in North America, the days will start getting longer again starting now! More daylight!

[@Catlily5]

Actually, the days will start getting shorter again in North America (as we head towards winter). They start getting longer after the winter solstice.

CLAVELLE in June 21 the summer solstice in Philippines

[@exogendesign4582]

how? We are in equator, we aren't in northern hemisphere or southern hemisphere, it would be nearly impossible to detect it happening, unlike living in those region that aren't tropics it would be completely noticeable but in tropical country such as Philippines I doubt so.

[@achaladka7225]

Simple Short and Accurate 👍

[@SoheilRashidi]

In the Jalali calendar which is used in Iran, summer and winter solstices correspond exactly with the start of summer and winter.

[@removeyourclothing9799]

Soheil Rashidi They can't

[@freshairkaboom8171]

That's impossible, the exact start of summer and winter change each year. Unless you add and retract days to compensate for that every year, which would make the Jalali calender pretty confusing.

[@semirhaile6490]

Hi national geography we understand you about solstices thanks

[@thnktank1]

Me: How can you confirm which pole is north and which pole is south. NatGeo: Flips the world. When trolling fails.

[@freshairkaboom8171]

It's easier than you think. North is not found in nature. North is the description we gave to a particular direction, and then used that as "up" on maps, even though it's not necessarily "up" in nature.

[@rndmfella1874]

@thnktank1 ..can you tell me wich direction we are in space? Up or down, or to the side? In relation to a compass we know exactly where the "north pole" as we named it, is. Same as we know where the "South Pole" is. If you wish to name it with something else, that's completely up to you. But I bet you will run in to some linguistic issues if you decide to start using your own, made up, language in the world. On the flip side, it might give you free room and board for a while, as they sort you out ;) This is civilisation after all.

[@Catlily5]

@@rndmfella1874 "Up" is subjective.

[@dnyanrajtakawane6525]

[@cefrinaldi8060]

Here in equatorial region. We have equal amount of day and night every single day of the year

[@JosephC9]

I'm curious, because of the tilt in the axis of the earth, during the summer & winter solstices, is it a bit "cooler" during the solstices compared to the equinox? I wouldn't think so but just curious (also where are you located? thanks!)

[@cefrinaldi8060]

@@JosephC9 I live in indonesia, near the equatorial line. We have two season based on monsoon. There are not much difference on sun position here. But due to vast amount of region in indonesia, there are slight tilting on sun position in the lower or upper region of indonesia. It doesnt disturb the day night cycle, it just like in rainy season it goes dark faster than the dry season. If you asking which is cooler... Maybe its cooler when in rainy season. The sun doesnt really do much on the temperature here.

No it's only during equinox

SOLSTICE = beginning ? Nope, I disagree.....solstice = MID-POINT of summer / winter.......after Summer Solstice, Sun starts moving Southwards (for Northern Hemisphere inhabitants) and after Winter Solstice, Sun starts moving Northwards !

[@awakenedhigherself9961]

The temperatures significantly increase 2 months after the summer solstice or significantly lower for 2 months after the winter solstice

[@awakenedhigherself9961]

I wouldn't say 2 months, I'd say about a month and a half the temperature goes really low or really high and you experience your lowest or highest temp of the season bc after 2 months you start experiencing warming or cooling
