Longest night on December 22
It will be the year's longest night today, Dec. 22, as the sun reaches the winter solstice, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said.
"The sun will reach the Winter Solstice today at 1:47 a.m. (PST). This marks the time when the sun lies at its farthest point south of the equator," Prisco Nilo, Pagasa chief said.
Philippine nights will be longer than daytime. Earth has now completed another annual circuit around the sun, he added.
