It is noteworthy that as our Earth revolves around the Sun, during the winter solstice, the Sun tilts towards the Southern Hemisphere and moves away from the Northern Hemisphere, marking the beginning of winter here. As a result, the duration of the day shortens, while the opposite happens in summer.
In the regions of the Northern Hemisphere, the sunrise time will remain the same for the next three days, although the sunset time will continue to change.
