All of the above.<\/p>\n<p>During the winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Astronomical winter begins in the Northern Hemisphere. This means that the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, and the sun&#8217;s rays are less direct.<\/li>\n<li>The noon sun is overhead at 23.5o S latitude. This is the Tropic of Capricorn, which is the southernmost latitude where the sun can be directly overhead at noon.<\/li>\n<li>At middle latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere, this marks the longest night of the year. This is because the Earth&#8217;s axis is tilted at an angle of 23.5 degrees, and the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the sun during the winter solstice.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The winter solstice is the shortest day and longest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. It occurs on December 21 or 22 each year. The winter solstice marks the beginning of winter in the Northern Hemisphere and the beginning of summer in the Southern Hemisphere.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[amp_mcq option1=&#8221;Astronomical winter begins in the Northern Hemisphere&#8221;
