What is the time of day?

Daily time (DST), popularly, but incorrectly called daylight time, is the practice of changing hours, throughout the nation, in spring and autumn. Many people are familiar with the proverb "Spring forward, falling." This means that in the spring the clock is set forward for an hour, which leads to a loss of the hour during the night. In the autumn, the clock is modified back for one hour. In fact, this practice in some countries is actually called summer time. The effect is that during the summer time the sun seems to rise 60 minutes later and also later on the day. These changes cause the day to seem longer, although it really has not changed. For artificial lighting. Because daylight seems to last for a longer part of the time when people are usually awake and active, energy -related accounts may be reduced. There may also be fewer traffic accidents during the time of day. Some people theorize that this change of lessons and daylight can also affect health and crime.

In the United States, the second Sunday of March is at the beginning of the summer time; It starts at 2:00. In the autumn, the clock is set to the first Sunday in November; But that was not always. Previously, changing the lesson came four weeks earlier. The 2005 Energy Policy Act prolonged summer light until November. It is assumed that this change will save a large amount of oil, because businesses generally do not need so much energy during daylight.

timing can be a little different in other parts of the world that observe time in daylight. Countries in Europe have been watching it for some time. In 1996, however, the European Summer Time of the European Union became standardized. Its beginning and end data differ from data in the United States. The lessons in European countries will move forward on the last Sunday in March and they roll on the last Sunday in October.

The day world in the countries of the southern hemisphere is solved differently to observe it. PUSHSummer comes in December, so the clock usually moves forward in October. The country does not change their hours very close to the equator in this way. The daylight hours they enjoy are similar in all seasons. As such, there is not much advantage to move the clock.
