In the Northern Hemisphere, as summer advances to winter, the points on the horizon where the Sun rises and sets advance southward each day; the high point in the Sun\u2019s daily path across the sky, which occurs at local noon, also moves southward each day.<\/p>\n<p>At the winter solstice, the Sun\u2019s path has reached its southernmost position. The next day, the path will advance northward.
