Detailed explanation-1: -During the winter solstice, the northern hemisphere is tilted furthest away from the Sun, causing it to reach its lowest point visually in the sky. For us here on Earth, this means it takes the least amount of time to cross the sky, and so we get the shortest day (and longest night) of the year.

Detailed explanation-2: -At the Winter Solstice, the sun travels the shortest path through the sky resulting in the day of the year with the least sunlight and therefore, the longest night. In the Winter Solstice, the days become shorter and shorter in the Northern Hemisphere which occurs annually on the 21st or 22nd of December.
