Winter Solstice In Mexico
The Iztaccihuatl volcano (left) is visible while the Popocatepetl volcano (right) is erupting during the winter solstice in Mexico City, an astronomical phenomenon that occurs twice a year on Earth and affects the length of the days. According to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), this is due to the Earth's rotation axis, which is tilted at an angle of 23.4 degrees relative to its orbit around the Sun, causing the sun's rays to be distributed unevenly between the northern and southern hemispheres.
