He stated that the sun will be shining directly on the Tropic of Capricorn, which is a sign of the beginning of the astronomical winter in the northern hemisphere (which lasts approximately 89 days) and the summer solstice in the southern hemisphere.
He explained that the winter solstice occurs due to the tilt of the Earth’s axis and its movement around the sun, and because the Earth during its rotation around the sun is not vertical, but tilted by 23.5 degrees.
