Is standard time being phased out in favor of daylight savings time?
No, standard time is not being phased out in favor of daylight saving time. Daylight saving time is a practice of adjusting the clocks forward by one hour in the spring to extend daylight in the evenings, and then adjusting them back by one hour in the fall. Standard time, on the other hand, is the time that is used for the majority of the year, when the clocks are not adjusted.

5 p.m when both time zones are aligned either on Standard Time or Daylight Saving Time. However, Europe has a shorter Daylight Saving Time period by four weeks. 5 time zones separate those two locations.
When did daylight saving begin and where?
Daylight saving time began during World War I as a way to conserve energy. The exact date and location of its implementation varies among countries. In the United States, it was first observed on March 31, 1918, while in Canada, it was implemented on April 14 of the same year. Other countries, such as Germany and the United Kingdom, also adopted daylight saving during this time period.
Where did this Daylight Saving Time come from?
Traditionally, Americans adjusted their hours to fit changes in daylight. Farmers, as well as railroads, http://www.answers.com/topic/steamship lines, shops, and factories changed their hours of operation seasonally. These seasonal schedules declined after American railroads implemented standard time zones in 1883. In 1907, an English builder and http://www.answers.com/topic/golfer named William Willett proposed the basic outline of what became daylight saving time. His plan found ready ears in the United States. American commercial interests began pushing for "more daylight," especially the burgeoning leisure time industry. An hour of light after work meant bigger crowds at ball games, amusement parks, and department stores. Commercial interests seized on the fact that in 1916, some European nations adopted "fast time" to promote efficiency and save fuel. The U.S. Senate began investigating daylight saving time that year, hearing testimony from the "National Daylight Saving Convention," a lobbying group of businessmen, chambers of commerce, and trade organizations. In 1917, these groups tied daylight saving to patriotism, efficiency, and economy, urging, "mobilize an extra hour of daylight and help win the war." Although no savings of fuel was ever demonstrated, in March 1918 Congress passed a bill to "save daylight and provide a standard time." Besides establishing a period of summer daylight saving, the bill made standard time zones into national law. Daylight saving met with considerable skepticism, primarily from those on the borders of existing time zones, and workers who rose extremely early. On the western edge of the eastern zone, adopting daylight saving put clocks nearly two hours ahead of the daylight. Farmers in those regions resisted daylight saving because it forced them to start too early in the morning. Labor organizations, including the American Federation of Labor, also resented rising in deeper darkness so middle-class businessmen might play golf after work. Additional objections called the measure http://www.answers.com/topic/absurd, like robbing Peter to pay Paul, while a minority detested changes to "God's time." Some businesses, particularly the movie industry, lost sales under daylight saving. Repealed in 1919, daylight saving remained in use by local option until the Uniform Time Act of 1966 made daylight saving national law. During World War II, year-round daylight saving prevailed, and in 1974 President Richard Nixon, reacting to the first energy crisis, set the clocks ahead for fifteen months. In 1986, lobbied by the makers of sporting goods, http://www.answers.com/topic/charcoal grills, and insect repellants, Congress established calendar dates in early April and late October for daylight saving.

Why do the New England states have Daylight Savings Time?
Daylight Saving Time (Not Daylight "Savings" Time)Daylight Saving Time Extended by Four Weeks in U.S. Starting in 2007By Matt Rosenberg, About.comSee More About:daylight saving timetime zonesphysical geographyGetty ImagesOct 12 2009On Sunday, November 1 at 2 a.m., Daylight Saving Time ends in the United States.Every spring we move our clocks one hour ahead and "lose" an hour during the night and each fall we move our clocks back one hour and "gain" an extra hour. But Daylight Saving Time (and not Daylight Savings Time with an "s") wasn't just created to confuse our schedules.The phrase "Spring forward, fall back" helps people remember how Daylight Saving Time affects their clocks. At 2 a.m. on the second Sunday in March, we set our clocks forward one hour ahead of standard time ("spring forward"). We "fall back" at 2 a.m. on the first Sunday in November by setting our clock back one hour and thus returning to standard time.The change to Daylight Saving Time allows us to use less energy in lighting our homes by taking advantage of the longer and later daylight hours. During the eight month period of Daylight Saving Time, the names of time in each of the time zones in the U.S. change as well. Eastern Standard Time (EST) becomes Eastern Daylight Time, Central Standard Time (CST) becomes Central Daylight Time (CDT), Mountain Standard Time (MST) becomes Mountain Daylight Tome (MDT), Pacific Standard Time becomes Pacific Daylight Time (PDT), and so forth.Daylight Saving Time was instituted in the United States during World War I in order to save energy for war production by taking advantage of the later hours of daylight between April and October. During World War II the federal government again required the states to observe the time change. Between the wars and after World War II, states and communities chose whether or not to observe Daylight Saving Time. In 1966, Congress passed the Uniform Time Act which standardized the length of Daylight Saving Time.Daylight Saving Time is four weeks longer since 2007 due to the passage of the Energy Policy Act in 2005. The Act extended Daylight Saving Time by four weeks from the second Sunday of March to the first Sunday of November, with the hope that it would save 10,000 barrels of oil each day through reduced use of power by businesses during daylight hours. Unfortunately, it is exceedingly difficult to determine energy savings from Daylight Saving Time and based on a variety of factors, it is possible that little or no energy is saved by Daylight Saving Time.Arizona (except some Indian Reservations), Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and American Samoa have chosen not to observe Daylight Saving Time. This choice does make sense for the areas closer to the equator because the days are more consistent in length throughout the year.Daylight Saving Time Around the WorldOther parts of the world observe Daylight Saving Time as well. While European nations have been taking advantage of the time change for decades, in 1996 the European Union (EU) standardized a EU-wide European Summer Time. This EU version of Daylight Saving Time runs from the last Sunday in March through the last Sunday in October. In the southern hemisphere where summer comes in December, Daylight Saving Time is observed from October to March. Equatorial and tropical countries (lower latitudes) don't observe Daylight Saving Time since the daylight hours are similar during every season, so there's no advantage to moving clocks forward during the summer.Kyrgyzstan is the only country that observes year-round Daylight Saving Time. The country has been doing so since 2005.U.S. Daylight Saving TimeYear Spring Forward Fall Back 2004 2 a.m. April 4 2 a.m. Oct. 31 2005 2 a.m. April 3 2 a.m. Oct. 30 2006 2 a.m. April 2 2 a.m. Oct. 29 2007 2.a.m. March 11 2 a.m. Nov. 4 2008 2 a.m. March 9 2 a.m. Nov. 2 2009 2 a.m. March 8 2 a.m. Nov. 1 2010 2 a.m. March 14 2 a.m. Nov 7 2011 2 a.m. March 13 2 a.m. Nov. 6 Time Zones ResourcesTime and Time ZonesTime Zone MapOffset Time ZonesResources About TimeSunrise, Sunset - The Longest DaySummer SolsticeInternational Date LineRelated ArticlesWhen Does the Time Change? - Daylight Saving Time in Toronto, OntarioHumor Boy Blog - When Am I - Daylight Saving Time ChangeAbout Time!

What is the time difference between sanfrancissco ans UK?
usually 8 hours. At certain times of the year but only for a short period (when daylight saving time starts at different weekends in the US and UK) there is only 7 hours difference.
Is there anyplace in the world where there is no darkness?
There are regions near the poles, such as the Arctic and Antarctic during their respective summer seasons, where the sun may not set for an extended period, resulting in continuous daylight for weeks or even months. However, these areas still experience a period of twilight and the light levels may vary.
