Is the solstice after winter short and the night long or the solstice after winter long and the night short and the day long?

The solstice of winter is coming soon. It is said that today's winter solstice is a solar term with varying length of day and night. I wonder whether the days are short or the nights are long after the solstice in winter.

Is the day short or the night long after the solstice in winter?

The days are long and the nights are short.

The length of day and night is closely related to the four solar terms in a year. In most parts of the earth, at the vernal equinox and the autumnal equinox, day and night are equally distributed. After the vernal equinox, the days are long and the nights are short. After the autumnal equinox, the nights are long and the days are short; In summer solstice, the day is the longest; Winter solstice, the longest day and night. After the winter solstice, the days get longer and the nights get shorter. When the vernal equinox comes next year, it will be as long as day and night, and this change will continue until the summer solstice.

The day after winter is several minutes long.

About one minute and thirty seconds.

After the winter solstice, the days gradually get longer. There is a saying that "after eating the winter solstice meal, the queue is getting longer every day." There are various theories here. Old people in rural areas think this is the time for slack farming. In the past, rural women would take shoes at this time. As the days get longer, women can do more rice flour work when making shoes every day. There is a saying that "after eating the winter solstice meal, the thread is getting longer every day".

Astronomically speaking, from the winter solstice, the direct sunlight position moves to the north, and the daylight gradually prolongs, with an average increase of more than 90 seconds per day.

When did the days get shorter?

It begins after the summer solstice.

On the day of summer solstice, the sun shines directly on the tropic of cancer. At this time, the daytime in all parts of the northern hemisphere reaches the longest in the whole year, and the higher the latitude, the longer the daytime. After this day, the point of direct sunlight begins to move south from the Tropic of Cancer, and the days in the northern hemisphere will get shorter day by day, while China is in the northern hemisphere. Therefore, there is a folk saying that "eating summer noodles shortens the day", and Wei, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, once wrote the poem "Summer in the North Pool". This also shows that after the summer solstice, the daytime time is shortened.

Which month has short days and long nights?

From September 23rd to 65438+February 22nd.

From the autumnal equinox to the winter solstice, the direct position of the sun will move from the equator to the tropic of Capricorn. As the time of exposure to the sun in the northern hemisphere becomes shorter, the days will become shorter and the nights will become longer. On the day of winter solstice, the sun will go straight to the Tropic of Capricorn, so the days in the northern hemisphere are the shortest, and in the Arctic Circle, there will be an extreme night phenomenon. After the winter solstice, it will gradually change to a time when the days are long and the nights are short.
