So an event concerning sunlight happens at night? Whatever.
The winter solstice occurs exactly when the Earth's axial tilt is farthest away from the sun at its maximum of 23° 26'. This occurs on the shortest day and longest night of the year, when the sun's daily maximum position in the sky is the lowest.[ Since the winter solstice lasts only a moment in time, other terms are often used for the day on which it occurs, such as midwinter, the longest night or the first day of winter.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_solstice
