Why 22 dec is the shortest day?

It is the shortest day for places located in the Northern Hemisphere only. Depending on the year, winter solstice falls around 22 december. The northern hemisphere will experience the shortest day while the southern hemisphere will experience the longest day.The reason behind this is season which is caused by the 23.5 degrees tilt from the Earth's axis and the revolution of the Earth which causes the hemispheres to experience different amount of day-time depending on the time of the year.
