This phenomenon is winter solstice; while on June 21, North pole is tipped towards the Sun but the South pole is tipped away from the sun resulting in 24 hours of darkness on the South Pole, as the sun is overhead on the Tropic of Cancer.This phenomenon is summer solstice; while Aphelion is the position of the earth in its orbit when it is at its distant point from the sun.
