Why does the winter solstice dawn so late?

Because the sun is most inclined to the northern hemisphere from winter to the future, it dawns late.

The solstice in winter is the extreme point of direct sunlight spreading to the south. From winter to the sun, the sun shines directly on the tropic of Capricorn, and the sun is most inclined to the northern hemisphere, and the elevation angle of the sun is the smallest. In all parts of the northern hemisphere, the days are the shortest and the nights are the longest.

The solstice in winter is also the turning point when the direct point of the sun returns to the north. After this day, it went back, and the direct point of the sun began to move northward from the tropic of Capricorn, and the days in the northern hemisphere became longer day by day.

The solstice in winter is also a traditional sacrifice day. It is said that after the Song Dynasty, the winter solstice gradually became a festival to worship ancestors and gods. In the Tang and Song Dynasties, the solstice in winter was the day of ancestor worship. The emperor went to the suburbs to hold a ceremony to worship heaven, and the people had to worship their parents.

During the winter solstice in Ming and Qing Dynasties, the emperor held a ceremony to worship heaven, which was called "the winter solstice in the suburbs". During this period, there were folk customs such as ancestor worship and family banquet. Therefore, winter solstice is called "off-year".
