    Winter is the coldest season between autumn and spring caused by the Earth's axis orienting that hemisphere away from the sun. Winter is defined differently in various cultures but generally associated with snow and freezing temperatures in many regions. The winter solstice occurs when the sun reaches its most negative elevation with respect to the North or South Pole, marking the shortest day and longest night of the year outside of polar regions.

    Winter (/wntr/) is the coldest season of the year in polar climates and temperate climates,

    between autumn and spring. Winter is caused by the axis of the Earth in that hemisphere being
    oriented away from the Sun. Different cultures define different dates as the start of winter, and
    some use a definition based on weather. When it is winter in the Northern Hemisphere it is
    summer in the Southern Hemisphere, and vice versa. In many regions, winter is associated with
    snow and freezing temperatures. The moment of winter solstice is when the sun's elevation with
    respect to the North (or South) Pole is at its most negative value (that is, the sun is at its farthest
    below the horizon as measured from the pole). The earliest sunset and latest sunrise dates
    outside the polar regions differ from the date of the winter solstice, however, and these depend
    on latitude, due to the variation in the solar day throughout the year caused by the Earth's
    elliptical orbit (see earliest and latest sunrise and sunset).
