Explanation:

During the winter solstice in the northern hemisphere, the orientation of the earth axis is that it is tilted in the direction opposite to the sun. This means that during this time, the north pole is at the farthest distance from the sun which represents the darkest day of the year. It can occur on any of this dates, such as 20th, 21st, 22nd or 23rd of December every year.
