Astronomically, winter begins on the day of the winter solstice. Then, these sunbeams falling at an angle of 90 ° are furthest from the equator, respectively the sun is the lowest in its visible path above the horizon for the whole year. For the Northern Hemisphere, this happens around December 21 and then the direct sunlight falls exactly on the southern tropical circle (Tropic of Capricorn), and for the Southern Hemisphere - around June 21, when the direct rays fall on the northern tropical circle (Tropic of Cancer). After the day of the winter solstice, the angle of the sun's rays begins to increase slowly and the visible position of the sun above the horizon becomes higher. Astronomically, winter ends on the day of the vernal equinox, when the sun crosses the so-called celestial equator at the vernal equinox and rays falling at a 90 ° angle to the surface migrate (enter) the northern hemisphere in March or the southern hemisphere in September. 1.
