# Traditionally the fourth of the four [[season]]s, typically regarded as being from [[December]] 21 to [[March]] 20 in continental regions of the Northern [[hemisphere|Hemisphere]] or the months of [[June]], [[July]] and [[August]] in the Southern Hemisphere. It is the time when the sun is lowest in the sky, resulting in short days, and the time of year with the lowest atmospheric [[temperature]]s for the region.

# Traditionally the fourth of the four [[season]]s, typically regarded as being from [[December]] 21 to [[March]] 20 in continental regions of the Northern [[hemisphere|Hemisphere]] or the months of [[June]], [[July]] and [[August]] in the Southern Hemisphere. It is the time when the sun is lowest in the sky, resulting in short days, and the time of year with the lowest atmospheric [[temperature]]s for the region.

It is the time when the sun is lowest in the sky, resulting in short days, and the time of year with the lowest atmospheric [[temperature]]s for the region.
