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.
