As the winter solstice comes I decided today would be a good day to write a blog post to teach us about it. What is the winter solstice? The winter solstice is the first day of winter. It's also the shortest day in the whole year!! The reason it’s the shortest day in the whole year is because of how the earth tilts, making the day shorter. After the winter solstice, the days get longer and the nights get shorter until the summer solstice. |
The winter solstice is on December 21. Many different cultures celebrate the winter solstice. But the ways people do it are through festivals, spending time with loved ones, feasting, singing, dancing, and having bonfires.
Winter activities
Because the winter solstice is the first day of winter, what are some activities you are going to do this winter? I like to toboggan in the winter with friends, but my favorite thing is building snow forts.
