When are the sunrises and sunsets of winter solstice and summer solstice?
The solstice in summer is the longest day and the shortest night in the northern hemisphere. On the day of the summer solstice, except the south pole of the Antarctic circle and the polar night area, the sunrise direction in all parts of the earth starts from the northeast and sets in the northwest. Around the summer solstice, the earth is located near the perihelion, and its running speed is slightly slower, resulting in the sun spending 8 days more in the northern hemisphere than in the southern hemisphere in a year, so the summer in the northern hemisphere is slightly longer.
From winter to the sun, the direct point of the sun is on the tropic of Capricorn (23 26' south latitude), with the longest day and the shortest night in all parts of the southern hemisphere. The higher the latitude in the southern hemisphere, the longer the day and the shorter the night, and the phenomenon of extreme day appears in the Antarctic circle. The northern hemisphere is the opposite.
