My question is:

If Calgary receives 7 h 54 min of hours of daylight (sunrise to sunset) on December 22. On the same day, Edmonton receives 7 h 28 min hours of daylight. Explain why the number of hours of daylight is less in Edmonton than in Calgary on December 22.

I believe it has something to do with lattiude but I'm not too sure, can anyone help me?
