Read on for five more fun facts about winter.
- The shortest day and longest night of the year occur during the winter solstice. In the Northern Hemisphere, this happens on December 21 or 22. After the winter solstice, the days start getting longer again.
- Speaking of tilt, did you know that Earth isn’t perfectly round? It’s actually flat at the poles and swollen in the middle because of its spin. This means that the closer you are to a pole, the longer your shadow will be. That’s why people in Alaska can have 12-hour-long shadows on some days!
- Most snowflakes have six sides, but some have as many as 12. Snowflakes form when water vapor in clouds freezes into ice crystals. The number of sides a snowflake has depends on the temperature and humidity conditions when it forms.
- Penguins mate for life and build their nests out of stones. These feathered friends live in cold climates like Antarctica and build their nests on land, unlike most other birds, which build their nests in trees or bushes.
5.” Will it snow on Christmas?” is a popular question leading up to December 25th, but unfortunately, there’s no easy answer. That’s because weather patterns around the world are different every year. So whether or not it snows on Christmas Day depends entirely on Mother Nature!
