On Sunday Australia and New Zealand had their "shortest day of the year" as the Southern Hemisphere experienced the winter solstice.
While the winter solstice is referred to as the shortest day and longest night of the year, it just means it is the day with the least amount of daylight hours. That's because it's when the Southern Hemisphere is at its furthest tilt away from the Sun, meaning we get less sunlight.
At the same time, the Northern Hemisphere will be experiencing the summer solstice, which is the longest day of the year.
This happens because the Earth tilts at about 23 degrees, meaning that when one side is closest to the Sun, the other side is furthest away.
As the Earth does a lap around the Sun each year, different parts of the planet get more sunlight than others.
After Sunday, each day's total sunlight hours will get a fraction longer than the previous day until we reach the summer solstice on 22 December.
