Define the winter solstice in a long sentence.?

Answer 1

Either of two times of the year when the sun is at its greatest distance from the celestial equator. The summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere occurs about June 21, when the sun is in the zenith at the tropic of Cancer; the winter solstice occurs about December 21, when the sun is over the tropic of Capricorn. The summer solstice is the longest day of the year and the winter solstice is the shortest.

Answer 2

the sun is going away for a break , won't be back for many a day , doesn't feel like being here for at least 3-4 months , in the mean time put up with the long nights and short days not to mention the cold and wet days that follow it's path , but look on the bright side it does come to a gracious end eventually !!!
