Winter Solstice In Mexico

The Popocatepetl volcano is erupting during the winter solstice in Mexico City, Mexico, an astronomical phenomenon that happens twice a year on Earth, affecting the length of the days. According to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), this occurs because the Earth's rotation axis 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.
