Each day gets shorter by about 1 to 2 minutes as we approach the winter solstice in December. This phenomenon occurs due to the tilt of the Earth's axis and its elliptical orbit around the Sun. After the solstice, days gradually begin to lengthen again until the summer solstice in June. The exact duration of shortening varies throughout the year and depends on your geographical location.
