Why 22 December is shortest day?
Daylight hours on the winter solstice are shorter than the rest of the year because of the Earths rotational tilt. That tilt faces the northern hemisphere away from the sun. This causes the apparent position of the sun throughout the day to be the furthest south during the year and daylight hours to shorten. At the same time of the year the southern hemisphere is experiencing the exact opposite, the longest daylight hours of the year.
What is the significance of June 21?
There is no single answer to that. Different parts of the northern hemisphere will have different lengths of daylight on the 21st of June. The further north of the equator you go, the more hours of daylight there will be, with there being about 12 hours at the equator and 24 hours at the north pole. So you need to know exactly where in the northern hemisphere you are before the question can be answered.

The winter solstice has the fewest daylight hours in the northern hemisphere. It is the shortest day of the year, occurring around December 21st, when the North Pole is tilted furthest away from the sun.
Why are the days so short in December?
The northern hemisphere has less daylight because the northern hemisphere is leaning away from the Sun. The Sun then appears to be lower and does not spend as much time above the horizon. However, the southern hemisphere is leaning towards the sun, so it has more hours of daylight in December, and it is summer there. Mid-summer in the northern hemisphere, when the northern hemisphere is leaning towards the sun, means more hours of daylight, while the southern hemisphere has less, because it is leaning away and in its winter.

Will the northern hemisphere have daylight?
The northern hemisphere will have daylight due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. As the Earth revolves around the Sun, different parts of the hemisphere receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year. This results in longer daylight hours during summer and shorter daylight hours during winter in the northern hemisphere.
Why are there more hours of daylight in Georgia in June than in December?
In Georgia, as in other locations in the Northern Hemisphere, the tilt of the Earth's axis plays a significant role in the variation of daylight hours throughout the year. In June, the Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the sun, resulting in longer days and more direct sunlight. Conversely, in December, the hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, leading to shorter days and less sunlight. This seasonal variation is why Georgia experiences more hours of daylight in June compared to December.
Why does south America get longer hours of daylight in December than in the UK?
UK is in the northern hemisphere while south Africa is in the southern hemisphere. during december the suns rays fall directly on the southern hemisphere while northern hemisphere gets slant rays hence UK is colder in december than Africa.
