Although the day of the winter solstice is sometimes called the "shortest day of the year" (because it has the shortest period of sunlight), the solar days near the solstice are actually the longest solar days of the year. Our 24-hour clock is based on the average length of the solar day. On Tuesday, Decem(the day of the full Moon), morning twilight will begin at 6:22 AM, sunrise will be at 7:25 AM, solar noon will be at 12:09 PM when the Sun will reach its maximum altitude of 27.8 degrees, sunset will be at 4:52 PM, and evening twilight will end at 5:56 PM. As winter continues, the daily periods of sunlight continue lengthening.
