The Southern Hemisphere's winters are about 4½ days longer than their summers, and the northern hemisphere's summers are about 4½ days longer than their winters, because the earth travels fastest in its orbit at its perihelion, when it's closest to the sun, which happens in early January, and it travels slowest at its aphelion, when it's farthest from the sun, which happens in early July.
