Why are the days in summer long and nights short while in winter days are short and nights are long?
Assuming you're in the United States, the longest day of the year is the first day of summer. The shortest day of the year is the first day of winter. Daylight hours get progressively shorter after the first day of summer until they reach their shortest, again this being the first day of winter. Therefore, the last day of autumn is the day before the day with the shortest number of daylight hours. So to answer your question, autumn does contain some days in December with the shortest number of daylight hours in the entire year. Hope that helps.

Why Summer Daylight Is Longer Than Winter Daylight In the summer, the amount of daylight that we get is more than we get in winter. This is not because as much people think we are closer to the sun but because of the tilt of the earth. The earth is actually closer to the sun in winter than it is in summer but you would be forgiven for thinking that this can not be true after looking out of your window on a cold and frosty morning. It seems strange that as the earth get closer to the sun during its orbit then the amount of daylight that we get decrease. But that is the case. It is the tilt of the earth that determine the amount of daylight that we get and so the length of time that for us the sun is above the horizon.
