The date of the shortest day is the December solstice (dec 21-22) in the northern hemisphere and June solstice (June 20-21) in the southern hemisphere. However, due to the motions of the earth the date of the earliest sunset occurs before that date, and the latest sunrise occurs after that date. The actual date of the earliest sunset and latest sunrise depends on your latitude. The actual times of sunset and sunrise depend both on latitude and longitude.
