Sun position in Winter

During winter in the Northern Hemisphere, the sun follows a low path across the sky, resulting in shorter days and longer nights. The sun’s angle remains shallow, causing weaker sunlight and longer shadows, which can create a cool, soft light ideal for certain types of photography but limiting outdoor activities that require direct sunlight.

In the Southern Hemisphere, winter brings the opposite: longer days and more direct sunlight as they experience their summer solstice.
