    The end of the world in 2012?

    Many prophecies about the end of the world surround this date because it corresponds to the last day of the Mayan calendar.
    What happens at the solstice?

    The December solstice occurs when the sun reaches its most southerly declination of -23.5 degrees. In other words, it is when the North Pole is tilted 23.5 degrees away from the sun. Depending on the Gregorian calendar, the December solstice occurs annually on a day between December 20 and December 23. On this date, all places above a latitude of 66.5 degrees north (Arctic Polar Circle) are now in darkness, while locations below a latitude of 66.5 degrees south (Antarctic Polar Circle) receive 24 hours of daylight.
    Use the Sunrise and Sunset calculator to find the number of daylight hours during the December solstice in cities worldwide.
    The sun is directly overhead on the Tropic of Capricorn in the southern hemisphere during the December solstice. It also marks the longest day of the year in terms of daylight hours for those living south of the equator. Those living or travelling south from the Antarctic Circle towards the South Pole will see the midnight sun during this time of the year.
    On the contrary, for an observer in the northern hemisphere, the December solstice marks the day of the year with the least hours of daylight. Those living or traveling north of the Arctic Circle towards the North Pole will not be able to see the sun during this time of the year.

    I was surprised by this question?
    How can this world ends all of sudden?
    We have this much of science improvement around us and another thing for cyclone occurrence and all we have a notice in prior.So I am confident that nothing will happens.

    You don't seem to have grasped the concept of English humour, look at it in a non humorous way

    1. Will the World End? Yes it will
    2. Is the Pope a Catholic? Yes he is

    Can you see the concept here? the definitive answer is YES

    If you still dont get it, come to England, claim a House free of charge and never have to work ever again whilst getting paid lots of money and whilst you are here living the life, have a good look at the phenomenon known as the English sense of humour and sometime in the not to distant future you may just get it. :2thumbsup:
