Arizona, Indiana, and Hawaii are the 3 states that dont participate in daylight savings......extra credit goes to those who can explain why... because they want longer days and shorter night and it depends on the time zone they are in.
The two states in the US that do not observe Daylight Saving Time are Arizona and Hawaii. Arizona does not observe DST due to its hot climate, while Hawaii also opts out as the state's proximity to the equator means that daylight hours remain consistent throughout the year.
No. Puerto Rico observes Atlantic Standard Time all year.
Put simply, there's no need for it in Hawaii. The idea behind Daylight Saving Time is that it adjusts the clock to take more advantage of the increased natural light. Because Hawaii is so close to the equator, the sun rises and sets at relatively the same time throughout the year. Due to this fact, there is no need to adjust clocks to take more advantage of the sun.
Clocks are moved forward for daylight savings so that people can enjoy the nicer summer weather. It really isn't a change in the sun or Earth, but just a way for everyone to get up earlier in the summer so that they have a longer time before the sun goes down. The length of daylight in the summer is also longer of course, but that is related to the tilt of the Earth's axis and not related to daylight savings.

Because daylight savings is stupid and pointless. It was originally created to save on lamp oil, hello we dont use lamps anymore and it sure as hell doesnt help save electricity

There is no law that requires them to observe certain holidays.
savings or the money you dont have to expend.
Arizona (except some Indian Reservations), Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and American Samoa have chosen not to observe Daylight Saving Time.
Being closer to the equator means a smaller difference in length of days between summer and winter. In places farther from the equator winter means shorter days. Daylight savings pushes the sunrise to a time where people must be up to work. In tropical climates the day doesn't get shorter, so noone needs to save its light!
In 2005, the Energy Policy Act extended Daylight Saving Time by four weeks, starting it on the second Sunday in March and ending it on the first Sunday in November. This change aimed to save energy by reducing the need for artificial lighting in the evenings.
