The sun will be located on the Tropic of Cancer and will start the coldest season in the southern hemisphere.
Tomorrow, Tuesday 21, when the sun sets over the Tropic of Cancer and reaches its maximum boreal position, winter will begin in the southern hemisphere and the summer in the north, thus giving rise, as astronomically, to the shortest day and the longest of the year, respectively; and in the mystical, to the celebration of the Day of the Quieto Sun. That moment, called solstice, will happen at 14:17 local time, while the next one will take place on the 22nd of December, at 02:31, when the sun sets over the Tropic of Capricorn and summer begins in the southern hemisphere and winter begins in the north. Solstice literally means Sool still and marks the moment when the star changes the direction of its apparent path around the Earth.
The ol Sol still still alludes to the fact that near June 21 and December 22 the star seems to `` stop '' a few days before taking momentum to recover the road Inverse .Until December 22, the sun s will run more and more southward, bringing summer to our hemisphere; but as of June 21, it does it more and more to the north, determining in the south the beginning of winter. The solar movement, in fact, is apparent: the one that runs is Earth., which carries out its translation around the king star, inclined about 23 degrees on its axis. But to the earth's eye, it seems that it was the sun that moves. If, from the astronomical point of view, both solstices involve a change of direction, they symbolize a change towards the unknown, a A new beginning, so celebrating the Day of the Sun Quieto lighting a stove involves accepting the changes and betting on the renewal of the circle of life.
The ancients knew that it was not winter that sheltered death, but summer, because while this is a going from the most intense light (the longest day) to the more and more darkness (the shortest day), winter means starting to escape from the dark towards the bright, hence the Winter Quieto Sun Festival was celebrated with more in the past He warned that of summer: the dark day announced to them the resurrection of light, while the bright day prevented them from their ephemeral existence., since pre-Roman times there were various ritual celebrations lighting bonfires to celebrate the solstices. Reminiscences of that are the famous bonfires of San Juan, which take place today in Spain to celebrate June, which marks the beginning of summer. South, the Andean native peoples celebrate their new year or Inti Raymi on June 21 (in which echua, Fiesta del Sol), ancient religious ceremony of the Incas. During the empire, the Inti Raymi was the most important of the four festivals celebrated in Cusco: it lasted 15 days, in which there were dances and sacrifices. Northern Inter-Andean alley of Ecuador, the Inti Raymi and other related festivities cover all June and part of July: each city celebrates it with its own rites and customs, usually in the streets, which for more than a month alters daily life night and day The June solstice produces in the northern hemisphere the longest day and the shortest night of the year and in the southern hemisphere, the shortest day and the longest night.
In December it is exactly the other way around. The rise of autumn and spring is responsible for the equinoxes: both March 21 (autumn in the south, spring in the north) and September 22 or 23 (spring in the south, autumn in the north), the sun is over Ecuador and this produces that the days and nights last the same throughout the Earth. The seasons take place because the axis of the planet is tilted 23º 27? with respect to the plane of its orbit; otherwise, they would not exist.But, equally, they are not couples worldwide: in the more temperate areas of both hemispheres there are four seasons per year (spring, summer, autumn and winter); at the poles only two (winter and summer) happen; and in the equatorial and tropical countries, that of rains and droughts is distinguished. In Ecuador, day and night are the same all year round.
