The first day of summer (on or about June 21 in the Northern Hermisphere) is the longest day of the year, meaning the most hours of sunlight. From there, each day is a little bit shorter until you come to the shortest day, the first day of winter (on or about December 21). Then they start getting longer again.
The first day of summer is called the Summer Solstice, and the first day of winter is called the Winter Solstice.
The summer solstice is the longest "day" of the year (hours of sunlight).
This is June 20 or 21 in the Northern Hemisphere and December 21 or 22 in the Southern Hemisphere. (At the actual poles, days and nights are each 6 months long.)

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.
On average, the seasons have the same number of days. The number of days in a year cannot be evenly divided into the 4 seasons, so, each year, one season will have one more day than the other three. But this is not the same season every year, and, on average, the number of days is the same for all seasons.
