🌗 Winter Solstice Day
शीतकालीन संक्रांति दिवस

🌖 At the winter solstice the Sun travels the shortest path through the sky, and that day therefore has the least daylight and the longest night.

🌒The winter solstice, also called the hibernal solstice, occurs when either of Earth's poles reaches its maximum tilt away from the Sun.

🌘Kepler formulated three laws which are known as Kepler's laws of planetary motion. It states that all the planets move around the sun in orbit.

🌓 Summer Solstice (21 JUNE) is the longest day of the year which is considered as the start of the summer season.

🌓 Equinoxes is the points of intersection between the elliptic (the sun’s apparent annual path) and the celestial equator (the equator of the celestial sphere).

🌓 Equinox twice a year, day and night are about the same length in both the Southern and Northern Hemispheres.
