Why do you have daylight?

Answer 1

Reasons For Daylight Saving TimeDaylight saving time is meant to save energy specifically electric power. There is more human activity in the early evening than in the early morning. By shifting the time such that it gets dark later, people will use less electric lighting and this saves electricity. During WW2, the USA instituded double daylight saving time (2 hours ahead) during the summer months. We go off daylight saving time during the winter months because it is not prident to have all the children going to school in the dark. Most peple love it because it gives you extra time in the summer for outdoor activities. Japan doesn't go on it. When i was there it got light at 5:00 AM and was dark at 6:00 PM. I was told the government there wants people to work more and not play as much.

Daylights saving time saves time. Maybe light.

Daylight saving time was started to save energy.Today in our global 24/7 global society it doesn't save anything. It shifts our experience of daylight and it has no effect at all on the actual passage of time or the actual length of daylight. But it would be strange if we called it Daylight Shifting Time, wouldn't it?
