Not Any LongerActually, ALL seasons have the same amount of time. Three months. Winter is December, January, and February. Spring is March, April, May. Summer is June, July, and August. Lastly, Autumn has September, October, and November. It's quite simple. 3 months, 4 seasons, 12 months in a year. 3x4=12.

Even though winter is three months, the same as the other seasons, it does seem like it is longer than the other seasons. That's probably because people stay inside more due to the cold weather, travel is sometimes more difficult because of snow and things like that.

In the winter the sun is 'in' the other hemisphere - i.e. it is on the other side of the equator, where it is their summer. This means that the sun is visible for less time than when it is in the same hemisphere as the viewer.
