The Winter Solstice has 8 hours of daylight.
Oh, dude, the shortest day of the year is like December 21st, the winter solstice, when the sun's like, "I'm out early, gotta catch some Z's." And the longest day, bro, that's June 21st, the summer solstice, when the sun's like, "I'm staying up late, party time!" So, like, the shortest day is around 9 hours of sunlight, while the longest day is like 15 hours of sun-soaked fun.
About two minutes, given that at winter solstice here in Melbourne, it gets dark at about 5pm, whereas it gets dark at about 9pm at summer solstice. Allowing the one hour for daylight saving, that's a six hour difference per day, given that there is also an earlier sunrise. So six hours difference is 360 minutes. Half a year is about 180 days. So the day lengthens by about 360 minutes over about 180 days. Bingo! that's about two minutes a day!
Only above the Arctic and Antarctic Circles experience 24 hours of daylight at any point. Being near the equator, the sun angle and hours of daylight don't change much throughout the year.

The amount of daylight gained each day varies depending on the time of year and location. On average, the amount of daylight gained can range from 2 to 5 minutes per day during spring and fall, while it can be as much as 7 to 8 minutes per day around the summer solstice in some locations.
After the winter solstice, the amount of daylight added each day gradually increases. Initially, only a few seconds are added, but as we approach the spring equinox, the days get longer more quickly. By the time of the summer solstice, the amount of daylight added each day starts to decrease again.
The Winter Solstice has 8 hours of daylight.
The amount of daylight gained between December 21 and December 22 is measured in seconds. By the first week in January, it may be as much as a minute. From February 1 to February 2, 2 minutes, and by March 21, 4 minutes per day. Then it begins to decrease until June 21, when the difference goes back to zero.
On June 21, the summer solstice, all points along the equator experience approximately 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. This is the only day of the year when the entire equator receives an equal amount of daylight.
That would depend on where in the world you are. If you were at the North Pole there would be 24 hours of daylight, while at the South Pole there would be no daylight. At points in between the two poles the amount of daylight would be different. At the equator the amount of daylight hours would be about 12 hours.
It depends on the latitude and how far after the solstice you're talking. You gain an increasing amount of daylight each day after the solstice until the equinox. At that point you're still gaining daylight but not as fast.
The Winter Solstice was yesterday, December 21. It marks the beginning of winter in the north. The periods of daylight are now increasing in length and will continue to do so until the Summer Solstice around June 20 or 21. At the same moment, the solstice, periods of daylight are beginning to decrease in the south; it is the beginning of summer there.As to "how much per day", that varies with the exact time of the year, and with the latitude. Better look up some online calculator for sunrise and sunset, and compare different days for your latitude.
Places that are close to the equator do not experience much change in the amount of daylight and darkness there is throughout the year. So while the solstices are happening in those parts of the world, they do not experience any major differences. The further you get from the equator and the closer you get to the poles, the more noticeable the effect of a solstice is.
