YOGYAKARTA - Netizens on TikTok with videos of a ban on leaving their homes on the night of December 21 due to the Solstis phenomenon. Many netizens ask what the Solstis phenomenon is, which makes people unable to stay at home.

A TikTok account with the name @hendrikecee shared a video containing a news image about the Solstis phenomenon. In the video, he wrote, "You can't go out on the night of December 21, 2022." But the news presented in the video is not clear where it came from.

What exactly is the Solstis phenomenon? In this article, it will explain the causes of the Solstis phenomenon, its impact, and when it will occur.

Solstis is a sky phenomenon that sometimes occurs in periods every year. This phenomenon occurs when the sun crosses the north and south lines, as reported by the official website of the Center for Space Science of the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN).

The Solstis phenomenon occurs when the sun's position is in the northernmost or southernmost at noon. At this moment, the long duration of the day lasts longer than the long duration of the night in the northern hemisphere or the southern part. However, this condition appears depending on the period of the solistic phenomenon occurring.

The Solstis phenomenon occurs because the earth's condition is tilted towards the ecliptics as well as orbiting the sun, reported by BRIN's information. This condition makes the axis of the Earth's rotation always adapt to the same direction, namely a polar star or polarist.

Many netizens are worried about the impact of the Solstis phenomenon after seeing videos circulating on social media. However, the impact of this phenomenon is not as terrible as mentioned in the viral video.

The Solstis phenomenon causes a change of seasons that can be felt in everyday life. This condition is felt especially for subtropic or high range countries.

The Solstis phenomenon causes a longer day than night in the northern hemisphere. This phenomenon also results in a summer turning point in the southern hemisphere, and vice versa in the northern hemisphere.

Meanwhile, the December Solstis phenomenon caused a longer day than night on the southern part of the earth. When this phenomenon occurs, there is a summer turning point in the northern hemisphere and vice versa.

The Solstis phenomenon can occur in a period of two times a year. This phenomenon occurs in two periods, namely Solstis June and Solstis December. Both periods lead to different earth conditions.

The June Solstis phenomenon occurs when the sun's position is at the far north at noon. In this period, the impact is the length of the day longer than the length of the night on the north of the earth and vice versa.

The sun will rise faster in the northern hemisphere at a time of the June Solstis phenomenon. While in the southern hemisphere, the sun rises slower.

The December Solstis phenomenon occurs when the sun's position is at the southernmost at noon. In this period, the impact of this is longer during the day than the length of the night on the southern part of the earth and vice versa.

The sun will rise faster in the southern hemisphere when the Solstis phenomenon in December. The opposite condition occurs in the northern hemisphere where the sun rises slower.

That is an explanation of what is the Solstis phenomenon and when it occurs. The Solstis phenomenon on December 22, 2022 occurs at 04.43 WIB, namely when the sun is in the Capricornus constellation. This phenomenon is also referred to as winter soltice, which is the winter turning point in the northern hemisphere and summer on the southern part of the earth.
