The shortest day of the year, in temperate and tropical climates, is the "winter solstice"; December 21 in the northern hemisphere, June 21 in the Southern Hemisphere. (These dates may vary a day either way, depending on the cycle of leap years.)
In the Arctic or Antarctic, the "shortest day" doesn't apply; there will be days when the Sun does not rise at all. If the Sun is within a couple of degrees of the horizon, you can see the glow of sunrise - but sometimes that's ALL you see. A little glow on the horizon around noon, and then dark again.

Why is it that daylight hours differ in the UK throughout the year?
The daylight hours in the UK vary throughout the year due to the tilt of Earth's axis and its orbit around the Sun. This causes the angle at which sunlight hits the UK to change, affecting the length of daylight hours. This phenomenon results in longer daylight hours in the summer and shorter daylight hours in the winter.
What is the difference between the length of daylight in the summer verses in the winter?
In the summer, days are longer with more daylight hours due to the Earth's tilt towards the sun. This results in shorter nights. In the winter, days are shorter with fewer daylight hours because of the Earth's tilt away from the sun, leading to longer nights.
What month do you start to lose daylight?
You start to lose daylight in the northern hemisphere around late June. This is when the summer solstice occurs, marking the longest day of the year. After this point, the days start getting shorter until the winter solstice in late December.
In which month do you gain the most daylight?
The month in which you typically gain the most daylight is June, during the summer solstice when the Northern Hemisphere is tilted closest to the sun. This results in longer daylight hours and shorter nights.
Are the daylight and darkness in September are nearest to the hours of daylight and darkness in November?
There is a Tornado valley! and there is such thing as Tornado Alley!
What time time of the year do the days become shorter?
there is less daylight in the winter
Are days shorter in winter?
No, days are not shorter in winter. The length of a day remains constant throughout the year. However, the amount of daylight hours during winter is shorter because the Earth's axis is tilted away from the sun, causing the sun to be lower in the sky and for days to have less daylight.
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.
Why is it that daylight hours differ in the UK throughout the year?
The daylight hours in the UK vary throughout the year due to the tilt of Earth's axis and its orbit around the Sun. This causes the angle at which sunlight hits the UK to change, affecting the length of daylight hours.

How many days of daylight does Antarctica have?
Technically, one. The other days may suspect to be full of daylight but truly, they are shorter.
Which process of photosynthesis will be affected by shorter periods of daylight?
Calvin Cycle
What is the a average day light hours?
The average daylight hours vary depending on the time of year and geographic location. Generally, equatorial regions experience about 12 hours of daylight year-round, while temperate regions can have anywhere from 9 to 15 hours depending on the season. In winter, daylight hours are shorter, while summer days can be significantly longer. On average, most places experience about 10 to 14 hours of daylight throughout the year.
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.
Is it possible for summer time to you shorter then winter days?
This is not the clearest question I've ever seen, but if you mean "is it possible for daylight on a summer day to be a shorter length of time than daylight on a winter day", then no, it's not possible.
What month do you start to lose daylight?
You start to lose daylight in the northern hemisphere around late June. This is when the summer solstice occurs, marking the longest day of the year. After this point, the days start getting shorter until the winter solstice in late December.
Which factor causes the greatest effect on the seasons on the earth?
The time of daylight is shorter in winter .
