It falls on September 22 or 23, the date of the autumnal (fall) equinox in the Northern Hemisphere.
Summer solstice is June 21
Winter solstice is December 21
Equinoxes are late march and late September
At the same time as in the Northern Hemisphere the solstice's are just reversed.
The Northern Summer Solstice is the Southern Winter Solstice. and vice-versa.
December 21, plus or minus one day due to the cycle of leap years. The Summer Solstice in one hemisphere is also the winter solstice in the other hemisphere.
the SUMMER SOLSTICE
Assuming the observer is in the North, then the southern hemisphere would be tilted towards the sun during the Winter Solstice in December. However, for observers in the Southern Hemisphere, the Winter Solstice would occur in June, and the northern hemisphere would be tilted towards the sun.
The time between sunrise and sunset is a little longer each day from the December solstice to the June solstice in the northern hemisphere and from the June solstice to the December solstice in the southern hemisphere.
In the northern hemisphere, the summer solstice occurs once each year in the month of June. The winter solstice occurs once a year in December. In the southern hemisphere, it is the opposite with the summer solstice occurring in December and the winter solstice occurring in June.
It is called the solstice. In the northern hemisphere it is the summer solstice on June 20th or 21st. In the southern hemisphere it is the winter solstice on December 21st or 22nd. The shortest day of the year occur on the same dates in the opposite hemispheres.
The winter solstace occurs between December 20 & the 23rd. It represents the sun's southern-most position (or perpendicular) relative to the earth, and is at a latitude of approximately 23-1/2' south of the equator.
In all parts of the world, in December and July occur soltices and in march and September, equinoxes.
Assuming the observer is in the North, then the southern hemisphere would be tilted towards the sun during the Winter Solstice in December. However, for observers in the Southern Hemisphere, the Winter Solstice would occur in June, and the northern hemisphere would be tilted towards the sun.
December 22, 2012 is when it is this year
March 20 (UTC) - the same date is the "vernal equinox" in the Southern Hemisphere.
December 21st, at the very same moment as the winter solstice in the north.
The time between sunrise and sunset is a little longer each day from the December solstice to the June solstice in the northern hemisphere and from the June solstice to the December solstice in the southern hemisphere.
:) lol lol lol (:
The solstices occur when the Sun reaches its maximum angular distance above or below the sky's "celestial equator". At local noon, at the solstice, the Sun is at its highest in the sky (summer solstice) or lowest (winter solstice) for the year. The solstices occur around the 21st of June and 21st of December. The summer solstice is in June in the northern hemisphere and in December in the southern hemisphere. At the summer solstice, the Sun is overhead at local noon on the tropic of Cancer (northern hemisphere) and the tropic of Capricorn (southern hemisphere).
In the southern hemisphere, the winter solstice can occur as early as June 19 to as late as June 23. In the northern hemisphere, the winter solstice can be as early as December 20 to as late as December 23.
Northward Equinox: March 20th/21st Northern Solstice: June 20th/21st Southward Equinox: September 22nd/23rd Southern Solstice: December 21st/22nd
In the Northern Hemisphere the summer solstice will usually happen between June 20 and June 22. For the Southern Hemisphere it will occur between December 20 and December 23.
