Well. June 21st or June 22nd every year is the longest day (most hours of sunlight), and December 21st or 22nd every year is the longest night (least hours of sunlight). So there is a 'shortening' of the period of light per day from June to December, and this reverses from December to June.

Winter occurs at different times of the year for the northern and southern hemispheres, and both the seasons and duration of night are caused by the same thing! The earth rotates at a tilt in relation to how the sun faces the earth. During the winter, the sun is farther away from that part of the earth, and as such it spends more of its time facing away from the earth.
