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.
