"Countdown to Winter Solstice 2023: The Shortest Day Approaches"

Floridians will experience the shortest day of the year, known as the Winter Solstice, on December 22. On this day, the Northern Hemisphere will have about seven hours and 14 minutes of daylight as the Earth's axis is tilted farthest away from the sun. While the Northern Hemisphere experiences winter, the Southern Hemisphere enjoys summer, and their days will gradually become shorter until their Winter Solstice arrives.
