Answer:

June solstice 21 has day shortest of the year in the Southern Hemisphere.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Viewed from 24 hours format the south pole lies at 90 degrees from the equator and as a result, the rays of the sun fall at 23.5 angles. The day light at the south poles runs for about three months since the september equinox.
  • Thus, Antarctic Circle is dark on the June Solstice. As the Antarctic circle is 66.5 degrees south hence the sun makes a brief appearance or the sun does not rise.
  • Sun remains completely below the horizon this is thus known as the Midwinter’s Day. The phenomenon of Civil twilight, Nautical twilight and astronomical twilight is found here from 6 to 12 degrees of latitude.
