Is there a short day of the year?

In the northern hemisphere it is the winter solstice. In winter we are tilted away from the sun. Today we are the "farthest" away from the sun and the most "tilted" It's only the shortest day of the year for the northern hemisphere. In the southern hemisphere, it is the longest day of the year. This is because the plane containing the equator does not cut the sun perfectly in half. What I mean by that is that the earth is tilted. Today, the earth is at such a position with the sun that the southern hemisphere is in front of the northern hemisphere for receiving sunlight. Because the earth rotates every day, the northern hemisphere will briefly be in front of the southern hemisphere (day), but for most of the day-the longest percentage of the day all year-the southern hemisphere will be in front(night).

Why does winter have to be the shortest day of the year?

During winter in the Northern Hemisphere, the earth is tilted by its axis so the Northern Hemisphere is away from the sun and the Southern Hemisphere is closer to the sun. During winter in the Southern Hemisphere, the earth axis is tilted the other way, so that the Northern Hemisphere is closer to the sun and the Southern Hemisphere is farther away.

Why is June the 21st in 2010 is shorter than all the other days?

In the southern hemisphere it is the winter solstice. The southern hemisphere is tipped furthest from the Sun, making it the shortest day. As the Earth continues on its journey around the Sun, the southern hemisphere begins to tip back towards the Sun after that. In the northern hemisphere it was the longest day.
