After the solstice in winter, are the days longer or shorter? After the solstice in winter, the weather changes day and night.

1. After the solstice in winter, the days in China are getting longer and longer. The solstice in winter is the limit of the sun's southward travel. On this day, the height of the sun in the northern hemisphere is the smallest, and the direct sunlight is most biased towards the tropic of Capricorn in the northern hemisphere. At this time, the days in the northern hemisphere are the shortest, the nights are the longest, and the days are shorter as you go north.

For us in the northern hemisphere, the days are the shortest and the nights are the longest. The solstice in winter is also the day with the lowest sun height at noon all the year round. As far as Beijing is concerned, the winter solstice is only 9 hours and 20 minutes a day, and the height of the sun is only 26 42. However, China is a vast country. Although the daylight is the shortest at this time, there are differences: in Shantou, Guangzhou and other places near the Tropic of Cancer, the daylight is about 1 1 hour 3 1 minute; In Qinhuangdao, Beijing, Jiayuguan, Kashgar and other places about 40 degrees north latitude, the daytime is about 10 hour and 20 minutes; Mohe Town in the northernmost part of the country takes less than 7 hours during the day. The farmer's proverb "It's not sunny in winter and it's not dark in summer" shows the great difference between the solstice in winter and the solstice in summer.
