correct answer is: Melbourne
Explanation: On December 22nd, Melbourne, being in the Southern Hemisphere, experiences summer, leading to longer days and shorter nights. In contrast, Moscow, Madrid, and Chennai are in the Northern Hemisphere, where December is winter, resulting in shorter days and longer nights. Among these, Moscow has the shortest day and longest night due to its higher latitude. Chennai, closer to the equator, has less seasonal variation but still shorter days than Melbourne.
