Difference Between Winter Solstice and Summer Solstice
• Rotation of earth around its own axis, which is tilted around 23.5 degrees to the perpendicular, causes seasons on earth.
• The period when this tilt is towards the sun is called summer solstice and the day on which this tilt is maximum is June 21 in the northern hemisphere. It is also called the longest day in the northern hemisphere.
• The period when this tilt is away the sun is winter solstice and the day on which this tilt is minimum is called winter solstice in the northern hemisphere. This day is December 21 which is also called the shortest day of the year.
• Summer solstice in northern hemisphere is called winter solstice in the southern hemisphere and winter solstice in northern hemisphere is called summer solstice in the southern hemisphere.

Answer:
The summer solstice, which happens on June 21 or 22 each year, has the longest daylight time. It's also the first day of summer. The winter solstice, on December 21 or 22, has the shortest daylight time, and officially kicks off winter. This is only true in the Northern Hemisphere, though.
