From 1900 to 2150, the average length of time per year from the beginning of the northern hemisphere summer to the beginning of the northern hemisphere winter is 183.52 days, and the average length of time per year from the beginning of the Southern Hemisphere summer to the beginning of the southern hemisphere winter is 181.72 days. The reason that northern hemisphere summers are longer than southern hemisphere summers is that Earth is closest to the sun, at its perihelion, in January, and it's farthest from the sun, at its aphelion, in July, and orbiting bodies always travel faster when they're closer to the body they're orbiting.
When the first 200 days of the year have passed, it generally falls in the summer season in the Northern Hemisphere. The year starts on January 1, and by July 19, 200 days have elapsed. In the Southern Hemisphere, however, this period would correspond to winter.
winter has the shortest amount of daylight and summer has the greatest amount of daylight./
1. Summer days are longer than winter2. Summer days are hotter than winter
The first day of Winter and the first day of Summer.
The shortest day of the year is the first day of Winter, but the days start to get longer through the first day of Spring - when days and nights are equal - until the first day of Summer, which is the longest day and shortest night. From there, the days start to shorten through the first day of Autumn (or Fall) when the days and nights are again equal. The days continue to shorten until the first day of Winter when the cycle repeats itself. So, the seasons that have days that are shorter than nights will be Autumn and Winter. Typically, its the winter season.

Yes, in the United States the shortest days are always in Winter...in the summer there is long days.
Summer has the most amount of days
Centuries ago, what we consider the first day of winter - the winter solstice in late December - was known as mid-winter's day. This makes sense when considering that up to this day the days are getting shorter, and after this day the days begin to get longer. Similarly, mid-summer's day was what we now call the first day of summer.
