In the Coldest Time

Date: Monday, December 26, 2022 4:31 PM EST

I have discovered that:

In the coldest time of the year that daylight gets longer; and

In the warmest time of the year that daylight gets shorter.

Go figure.

How so?  We have more daylight in summer than winter.

Jim Boswell 2 years ago Author's comment

I will try to be gentle with my response.  It has to do with the rotation of the Earth around the Sun.  The days (daylight) start getting longer on Dec 22 and the days (daylight) start getting shorter on June 22.  It's what they call the winter and summer solstices.

So the day with the least amount of daylight is Dec 22 and the day with most amount of daylight is June 22--and for some very strange reason it works like that year after year after year.
