Solar Term Date from Winter to Sun in 2022

Specific time of winter solstice in 2022: February 22nd 15: 48: 0 1.

According to modern astronomical science, on the day of winter solstice, the sun moves to longitude 270 (winter solstice), and the position where the sun directly hits the ground reaches the southernmost point of the year. The sun is almost directly on the tropic of Capricorn (also known as the winter solstice daily line), and the sun is most biased towards the northern hemisphere. Therefore, the winter solstice is the place with the shortest day and the longest night in the northern hemisphere. The higher the latitude, the shorter the day and the longer the night.

For all parts of the northern hemisphere, the winter solstice is also the day with the lowest sun height at noon all year round. North of the Arctic Circle, the sun is below the horizon all day, which is the widest day of the year in the northern hemisphere. In winter solstice, the northern hemisphere gets the least solar radiation, which is about 50% less than that in the southern hemisphere in hot summer. The custom of solar terms in solstice winter
