What are the sunrise and sunset times of the winter solstice?

The time of sunrise and sunset in winter will change with the season and the latitude of each place in each region. Take Beijing as an example: the sunrise time is around 7: 33; The sunset time is around 4: 53 pm. The winter solstice is the shortest day and the longest night in the northern hemisphere all year round. After the winter solstice, the days will get longer and longer.

Sunrise time is related to latitude and longitude. During the period from the autumnal equinox to the vernal equinox of the following year, the sunrise in high latitudes is later than that in low latitudes, and the daytime is shorter. For example, the latitude of Changchun is higher than that of Shanghai, so the sunrise time in Changchun is later than that in Shanghai during this period.

For most parts of the earth except the equator and poles and their vicinity, the earliest day of sunrise is before the summer solstice, the latest day of sunset is after the summer solstice, the earliest day of sunset is before the winter solstice and the latest day of sunrise is after the winter solstice.

The ancients said about the winter solstice: When the cathode came, the yang began to grow, the sun went south, the day was short and the shadow was long, so it was called the "winter solstice". After the winter solstice, the climate everywhere has entered the coldest stage, which is often called "entering the ninth". In China, there is a folk saying that "it's cold in March, and it's dog days".
