Best Answer

The period around the winter solstices, the shortest days and longest nights in the northern hemisphere. It occurs on the 21/22 December when the earth axis, on which it rotates, points at the furthest angle away from the sun in the northern hemisphere (and towards the sun in the southern). Hence as the earth rotates, points close to the pole receive no sun.
