❄️ Today is the winter solstice in parts of the Northern Hemisphere! ❄️ We experience seasons because Earth is tilted on its axis as it orbits the Sun. The winter solstice occurs when a hemisphere is tilted furthest away from the Sun, while the summer solstice occurs when it’s tilted the most towards the Sun. ❄️ Because we’re angled away from the Sun, on the winter solstice we get the fewest hours of daylight of the year. ❄️The actual moment of the winter solstice was this morning at 3.27am GMT.
