If you look up a word in a dictionary, the dictionary will tell you the pronunciation using special symbols placed above the letters - the curved line indicates a short vowel, the straight line indicates a long vowel.
A vowel is short when it is followed by a consonant that stops the sound, resulting in a brief pronunciation. In English, short vowels usually occur in closed syllables, where the vowel is followed by one or more consonants.
That all depends on which vowel you're talking about. The O is long, but the E is short.
