Yesterday is the shortest day or the longest night of the year. Is this year's winter solstice? The number of daylight hours on the shortest day amounts to 7 hours, 49 minutes and 42 seconds - some 8 hours, 48 minutes and 38 seconds shorter than the summer solstice, when daylight hours are at a maximum. Since the sun is on the north side of the world here in New Zealand the sun is on the other side of the world so for us we get less daylight.
