winter solstice
21st December is the shortest day of the year.
From Wikipedia...
"The winter solstice occurs exactly when the Earth's axial tilt is farthest away from the sun at its maximum of 23° 26'. More evident to those in high latitudes, this occurs on the shortest day and longest night of the year, when the sun's daily maximum position in the sky is the lowest."
The shortest day of the year is December 22, which is called the Winter solstice.
The answer is December 21st.
Yes. Longest day of the year in one hemisphere, and shortest day of the year in the other hemisphere. So our summer solstice on June 21 is the longest day in Europe or America, but the shortest day for the Australians.
An equinox is not the shortest day. It has the same amount of daylight and darkness. The solstices have the longest and shortest days. The winter solstice is the shortest day of the year in terms of the amount of daylight.
No. It has equal amounts of daylight and darkness. A winter solstice has the least amount of daylight and can be regarded as the shortest day of the year. If your clocks go forward once a year, then that particular day has 23 hours, so that could also be said to be the shortest day of the year.

No, it only pertains to your own hemisphere. The longest day for people of Northern latitudes (north of the equator), is the shortest day for people living in Southern latitudes (south of the equator) because the earth does not sit straight up. It has a slight tilt that causes the seasons.
