It is december i think lol.
No. The length of daylight is tied to seasons. In the Northern Hemisphere (US, Canada, etc) that longest day will be 21 Jun. However, in he Southern Hemisphere(South of the equator-Australia, South America, Africa, etc) that will be the shortest day of the year.
All places that are on the Equator have the least variation in the length of daylight hours.
There are more hours of daylight in a day during summer than there are in winter.
June 21, the date of the Summer Solstice. Because Cartagena is so near the equator, at 10 25N, there isn't much difference in the length of the day. The longest day of the year is June 21, with 12 hours 44 minutes of daylight, and the shortest day of the year, Dec 21, still has 11 hours 31 minutes of daylight.
Assuming you're in the United States, the longest day of the year is the first day of summer. The shortest day of the year is the first day of winter. Daylight hours get progressively shorter after the first day of summer until they reach their shortest, again this being the first day of winter. Therefore, the last day of autumn is the day before the day with the shortest number of daylight hours. So to answer your question, autumn does contain some days in December with the shortest number of daylight hours in the entire year. Hope that helps.
December.

The day that has the shortest hours of daylight is known as the winter solstice. In 2013, the day that will have the shortest hours will be on Saturday, December 21, 2013.
An equinox is not the shortest day. It has the same amount of daylight and darkness. The solstices have the longest and shortest days. The winter solstice is the shortest day of the year in terms of the amount of daylight.

Earth's rotational axis is tilted. Thus as it orbits the sun the length of the day varies. In either hemisphere the daylight hours are shortest during the winter season, and longest in the summer. The length of the full day/night cycle does not vary by season, but is affected (very minutely) by other factors.
Does the sun's position in the sky affect the length of daylight ?
No. The length of daylight is tied to seasons. In the Northern Hemisphere (US, Canada, etc) that longest day will be 21 Jun. However, in he Southern Hemisphere(South of the equator-Australia, South America, Africa, etc) that will be the shortest day of the year.
It depends on your latitude.
