It is worth noting that before and after the winter solstice, the Earth is located near the perihelion and runs at a slightly faster speed, which results in that the time when the sun directly shines on the southern hemisphere is about 8 days shorter than that of the Northern Hemisphere in a year, therefore, winter in the northern hemisphere is slightly shorter than summer.
