Track the exact moments when Earth's tilt creates the longest day, shortest day, and equal day-night balance. Understand the astronomical events that define our seasons.
Day length varies as Earth orbits the Sun. Summer Solstice receives maximum sunlight hours, while Winter Solstice gets the minimum. Equinoxes represent the perfect balance.
Uttarayana and Dakshinayana are seen as the spiritual journey of the soul. Represents the day and night of the gods.
Earth is tilted 23.5° on its axis. This axial tilt causes the variation in sunlight distribution, creating our seasons.
