Sun apparently makes a sign curve on the equator of the Earth due to the tilt of its axis. Therefore, reverse season (Summer and Winter) are experienced in northern and southern hemispheres. On December, 22 the appears right on the Tropic of Capricorn, so the day is longest on this date (shortest night) in the Southern hemisphere and longest night and shortest day in Northern hemisphere.
