On June 21 at 7 hours 30 minutes, it will produce the Winter Solstice , which corresponds to the date on which the sun reaches the highest latitude in the Northern Hemisphere, also known as " North Decline " maxim in astronomical and navigation terminology , which coincides with the so-called Tropic of Cancer, which is the 23 degrees 27 minutes North parallel , officially giving launch to the Winter Station in the Southern Hemisphere, because the sun illuminates in an oblique form to this part of the planet ,and Summer Station in the Northern Hemisphere as consequence of the perpendicular incidence of solar radiation to that hemisphere. The solstices are the points of the ecliptic, which is the Sun's apparent movement above earthbound surface over one year when the Sun reaches its greatest declines, denominating Summer Solstice and Winter Solstice, respectively. |
