In the northern hemisphere, the sun reaches its lowest position in the sky around the winter solstice, which occurs around December 21st or 22nd. This is the time of year when the northern hemisphere is tilted farthest away from the sun, resulting in the shortest day and longest night of the year. After this date, the days gradually begin to lengthen as the tilt of the Earth's axis shifts back toward the sun.
