Alaska has the longest day of the year with almost 24 hours of daylight during the summer solstice. Hawaii has the shortest day of the year with around 10 hours of daylight during the winter solstice.
If they are in the same plane then it is the length of the straight line joining them. If they are not in a plane then things get complicated. On the surface of the earth (a sphere), the shortest distance is an arc along the great circle. The great circle is a circle whose centre is the centre of the earth and which passes through the two places. This is why New York to Tokyo flights go over the Arctic region. With polyhedra, one way to find the shortest distance is to mark the two points on a net the shape. If you can draw a straight line between the points such that all of it is on the net, then that is the shortest distance. You may need to play around with different nets.
