Why are days getting shorter in south Florida?
Days are currently getting shorter in all of the northern hemisphere because we are past the summer solstice continuing to the winter solstice. The tilt of the earth causes days to get longer in the summer and shorter in the winter. The further north or south you are the more extreme these changes are. (near the poles there is a period of a few months where the sun never rises in winter, and never sets in summer)

Days are not smaller, they are shorter. This is because the earth spins with its axis tilted and in the winter the northern hemisphere is pointing away from the Sun - this makes Northern days shorter and Southern days longer.

When on earth has 14 hours of daylight is the rest of the world having 14 hours of daylight as well?
No, it is not. In fact, when the Northern hemisphere is having longer days, the Southern hemisphere is having shorter days (and conversely).
In between June 21 and September 21 days become shorter or longer?
The time period that you are referring to is called the summer solstice. This is the time when the earth's path around the sun has forced the Northern Hemisphere to start pointing directly at the sun. At that point, every part of the Northern Hemisphere sees the sun for more than 12 hours and every part of the Southern Hemisphere sees the sun for less than 12 hours.So the answer is: for the Northern Hemisphere, the days become longer, and for the Southern Hemisphere, the days become shorter.Hope this helps ~ CB
Is solstice when the sun shines on one hemisphere?
Not exactly. The sun is always shining on parts of both the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere. As the Earth is tilted, there are times when it shines on more of one than the other. At the point it is shining on its maximum amount of one hemisphere, it is a solstice. It is still shining on the other hemisphere too, but just not as much as it is at other times. That happens in June, when it is mostly shining on the northern hemisphere, giving it longer days and shorter nights, and in December, when it is mostly shining on the southern hemisphere and it has the longer days and shorter nights.
When days start shortening?
June 22, on the solstice the day is at its longest, so it starts getting shorter on 22 June, in the northern hemisphere.
