The shortest day length in the Northern Hemisphere occurs around December 22nd.

This date marks the winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, when the Earth’s North Pole is tilted furthest away from the Sun, resulting in the fewest hours of daylight.

March 21st (Vernal Equinox) and September 23rd (Autumnal Equinox) are approximate dates when day and night are of roughly equal length everywhere on Earth. The exact date of the solstice can vary by a day or two depending on the year.
