65438+February 265438+ 0, 22 or 23 every year. The direct point of the sun is on the tropic of Capricorn, with the longest day and the shortest night in all parts of the southern hemisphere. The higher the latitude in the southern hemisphere, the longer the day and the shorter the night, and the phenomenon of extreme day appears in the Antarctic circle. In the Arctic Circle, there is a phenomenon of extreme night. The farther away from the tropic of Capricorn on the earth, the more inclined the sun's rays are, and the less solar heat is obtained.

Climatic characteristics:

The arrival of winter solstice solar terms marks the beginning of winter. On this day, although the northern hemisphere received the least solar radiation, it was about 50% less than the southern hemisphere. However, this is not the coldest time, so-called "March 9, April 9 cold." This is because there is atmosphere and water on the surface of the earth, which can store heat, not "save or lose" but "accumulate heat"

Therefore, the weather is usually not very cold before the winter solstice. From winter to the future, although the solar altitude angle gradually increases, it is a slow recovery process, and the heat lost every day is still greater than the heat received, showing a situation of "making ends meet".

On the day of "March 9 and April 9", the accumulated heat is the least, the temperature is the lowest, and the weather is getting colder and colder. If there is the influence of cold air at this time, the weather will be even colder. After this "cold front", the weather will gradually get warmer.
