On September 22, the number of hours of hours of daylight would be only a minute or so less than 12 hours, while on December 19 the length of the day will be somewhere between 11.9 hours and zero, depending on your latitude.

How the angle the sunlight reaches the earth impacts the number of hours of sunlight and the length of the day?
During the summer, the sun is striking the Northern Hemisphere straight on, therefore providing strong sunlight and longer daylight hours. The opposite is true during the winter; the Northern Hemisphere is turned away from the sun during this time, hence receiving weak sunlight and shorter daylight hours.
WHICH PART of the world have the longest summer days?
The Arctic region, anywhere north of the Arctic Circle (approx. latitude 66° 34' N), has the greatest number of daylight hours when it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere.

The Sun reaches an EQUINOX when it is directly above Earth's equator and the number of daylight hours equals the number of nighttime hours all over the world. At this time, neither the northern or the southern hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun.
Why are average summer temperatures in the southern hemisphere cooler than average summer temperatures in the northern hemisphere?
Probably because the southern hemisphere has more water than the northern hemisphere. It takes more heat to raise a given mass of water a certain number of degrees than to raise the same mass of any other substance the same number of degrees.
