The shortest day of the year is the Winter Solstice, which is generally December 21, but this date can fluctuate a day or two either way depending on the cycle of leap years. You didn't specify a year, so I used 2010; however, the sunrise/sunset times will be within a minute or two for the same date any year.

What inner planet has the shortest year
To arrange time divisions from longest to shortest, the correct order is: year, month, week, day, hour, minute, second. A year encompasses the longest duration, followed by a month, then a week, and so on, with a second being the shortest measurement in this sequence.
Since Mercury is the closest planet, it travels around the sun in the shortest amount of time. A year on Mercury equals 88 days.

No, 1933 was not the shortest year. All calendar years have the same length of 365 days, or 366 days in a leap year. However, the perception of it being "short" might stem from significant historical events that occurred that year, such as the rise of Adolf Hitler in Germany and the end of Prohibition in the United States. But in terms of actual duration, it was like any other year.
