does that make the day longer/shorter?

Winter Solstice is the longest night of the year - after the Solstice, the days start to get longer again, and the nights shorter.

The winter solstice is December 21. It is the shortest day of the year. It starts getting dark around 5:00pm. Very short day. After it the days start getting longer.The Summer Solstice is the exact opposite. It is the longest day of the year, and it's June 21. Starts getting dark around 10:00pm. After it the days start getting shorter. Then there's the Spring Equinox and the Autumn Equinox which are both days of the year with equal night and day. How is that for an answer :-)?

The actual solstice is the shortest day of the year. Following the solstice, the days start getting longer.

Winter solstice (December 21 or 22) is the shortest day of the year. Summer solstice (June 21 or 22) is the longest day of the year.

In the northern hemisphere, the Winter Solstice is the shortest day of the year and the longest night. For the Southern hemisphere opposite is true. The earth goes in cycles.

In the northern hemisphere, the days will become longer after December 22.

It's the shortest day of the year. So, they get longer after that. Yay!

I believe it makes it shorter and appear darker sooner. But I might be wrong.
