Summer and Winter Solstice | Geoscience Australia (ga.gov.au)
The winter solstice is the day of the year that has the least daylight hours of any in the year.
On the winter solstice, the sunrise is not the latest and the sunset is not the earliest. However, this day does have the least amount of daylight hours.
Because the path of the Earth around the Sun is an ellipse, not a circle, and because the Earth is off-centre on its axis, these combined phenomena can create up to several minutes difference between solar and mean time. Around the winter solstice, the time of sunrise continues to get later in the days after the solstice.
