What is winter like on solstice? Is the winter solstice the latest sunrise and the earliest sunset in a year?
Theoretically, yes.
The winter solstice sun is located in the tropic of Capricorn.
In the northern hemisphere, the sunrise is the latest and the sunset is the earliest.
The day is the shortest.
However, our sunrise and sunset times are also influenced by the apparent radius of the sun, the eye height difference and the atmosphere.
Maybe people think there is no sunset.
But it's actually already sunset.
In astronomical geography, as long as the sunset is below the horizon, it is called sunset.
The situation that it is still bright the next day after sunset is called twilight vision.
Also known as morning fog.
