It depends on your latitude.
No. It has equal amounts of daylight and darkness. A winter solstice has the least amount of daylight and can be regarded as the shortest day of the year. If your clocks go forward once a year, then that particular day has 23 hours, so that could also be said to be the shortest day of the year.
An equinox is not the shortest day. It has the same amount of daylight and darkness. The solstices have the longest and shortest days. The winter solstice is the shortest day of the year in terms of the amount of daylight.
That depends on where you were. In 2011 it was the day with least amount of daylight hours in the northern hemisphere and the day with the most amount of daylight hours in the southern hemisphere.
the length of the day on the 25th of December is 7 hours, 57 minutes - about one minute more than on the 22/22 December which are the year's shortest days.
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.
