Solstice: The Earth is reaching the turning point
Subscribe to BBC News www.youtube.com/bbcnews
The hemisphere that is tilted towards the sun has summer and the hemisphere away from the sun has winter. The solstice is the moment in time when one hemisphere of the world has reached the point tilted most towards the sun and the other is tilted furthest away.
Once this moment has passed, the Earth begins its six-month journey towards the next solstice, bringing the opposite season to the northern and southern hemispheres.
While it's the winter solstice in one hemisphere it's the summer solstice in the other hemisphere. In the United Kingdom the solstice is a little after 11pm on 21 December this year; however all time zones east of the GMT, it is already 22 December, so the date of the solstice depends on where you are on the planet.

Ancient History of Winter Solstice Traditions and Sites
The winter solstice, falling in December in the Northern hemisphere and June in the Southern hemisphere, is the shortest day and longest night of the year. The winter solstice, also referred to as ‘midwinter’ is associated with the idea of rebirth of both the sun and the new year, and after the shortest day, the days get a bit longer, and a bit brighter. The movement of the sun and the skies in general have been monitored by humanity for a long, long time, all around the world, especially since tracking the sun and the seasons was imperative for crop growth and agriculture.
We’re not entirely sure for just how long humans have recognised the winter solstice as a turning point, but we know it was important for heralding in the new sun or sun god for the next year. The concept of rebirth i...

Summer Solstice for Kids! | The Longest Day of the Year
In this video you can find out all about all about the Summer Solstice and what happens.
The Summer Solstice marks the end of spring and the start of summer. At the Summer Solstice, the Sun travels its longest path through the sky, and we have our longest day, June 21st. The Arctic, being the furthest North, experiences 24-hour-daylight. The Summer Solstice is celebrated by many cultures, with many gathering at sites like Stonehenge to celebrate, as the light of the Sun lines up with the stone circle.

"Burning the Clocks: A Unique Winter Solstice Celebration"
"Burning the Clocks is a modern winter solstice tradition celebrated in Brighton, England. Held on December 21st, this event marks the shortest day of the year with a stunning lantern parade through the city, ending with the ceremonial burning of the lanterns on a massive bonfire at the beach. The lanterns, made from paper and willow, symbolize the passage of time and the welcoming of the coming light as days begin to lengthen. This community event blends art, celebration, and the ancient practice of marking the solstice, creating a unique and meaningful way to bring light to the darkest night of the year."

LYRICS:
A restricted area
Shaped like a Petunia
Thank god you know your ways
It’s in your mind
It’s on all the time
And I find it hard to explain
What would you trade me for
This girl’s playing hula hoop
Under the malicious
Winter solstice
Turn the lights on
Find me a narrative
Something positive
This Requiem played a few times before
I heard it once
So I’m not sure
On the phone "I told you"
Why open your eyes to go to bed?
Drive straight to the ocean
Let’s see what you won’t find out
Even the righteous beheaded their loved ones
Now it’s hard to connect
But the world’s unchained
And soon
It’ll be public domain
It’s too hard to remain
Astute
But I will stay
If you’re detained
With you
I’ll wash my hands
Until It rains
Through you
Keeping the lights on
Obliged to the bygones
Thank god you know your ways
If this time it’s true
Why bother reeling you?
All this fine jewelry
Look at this diamond shaped out of glass
I’ll try to make this Ruby shine nice
I’m trying to make a living
Is that something that you don’t mind
Fine
Did you ever think it could have been in our lifetime?
So give me a ride home
Find me a narrative
Something positive
This Requiem played a few times before
I heard it twice
So I’m not sure
On the phone "I told you"
Why open your eyes to go to bed?
Drive straight to the ocean
Let’s see what you won’t find out
Cover you eyes for Winter Solstice?
Now it’s hard to connect
But the world’s unchained
And soon
It’ll be public domain
It’s too hard to remain
Astute
But I will stay
If you’re detained
With you
I’ll wash my hands
Until It rains
Through you

The hemisphere that is tilted towards the sun has summer and the hemisphere away from the sun has winter. The solstice is the moment in time when one hemisphere of the world has reached the point tilted most towards the sun and the other is tilted furthest away.
Once this moment has passed, the Earth begins its six-month journey towards the next solstice, bringing the opposite season to the northern and southern hemispheres.
While it's the winter solstice in one hemisphere it's the summer solstice in the other hemisphere. In the United Kingdom the solstice is a little after 11pm on 21 December this year; however all time zones east of the GMT, it is already 22 December, so the date of the solstice depends on where you are on the planet.

The winter solstice, also referred to as ‘midwinter’ is associated with the idea of rebirth of both the sun and the new year, and after the shortest day, the days get a bit longer, and a bit brighter.

We’re not entirely sure for just how long humans have recognised the winter solstice as a turning point, but we know it was important for heralding in the new sun or sun god for the next year. The concept of rebirth inspired the festive practice of role-reversal best seen in the festivities of Saturnalia in Rome where the role of slave and master would reverse and, earlier, in Mesopotamian civilizations. The solstice observances, celebrated around the globe and through history, all centred around similar themes including light conquering darkness, renewal, new life, and rebirth, when, after the shortest day and longest night of the year, the darkness would give way to the light of longer days and shorter nights.

In this video you can find out all about all about the Summer Solstice and what happens.
The Summer Solstice marks the end of spring and the start of summer. At the Summer Solstice, the Sun travels its longest path through the sky, and we have our longest day, June 21st. The Arctic, being the furthest North, experiences 24-hour-daylight. The Summer Solstice is celebrated by many cultures, with many gathering at sites like Stonehenge to celebrate, as the light of the Sun lines up with the stone circle.

"Burning the Clocks is a modern winter solstice tradition celebrated in Brighton, England. Held on December 21st, this event marks the shortest day of the year with a stunning lantern parade through the city, ending with the ceremonial burning of the lanterns on a massive bonfire at the beach. The lanterns, made from paper and willow, symbolize the passage of time and the welcoming of the coming light as days begin to lengthen. This community event blends art, celebration, and the ancient practice of marking the solstice, creating a unique and meaningful way to bring light to the darkest night of the year."
