Scientific stations in Antarctica usually operate on the local time for the government that they serve.

There is no standard time in Antarctica. If the country headquarters is on daylight savings time, then so is the Antarctic base. However, when the sun is up 24 hours out of the day, there's not much value to the notion.

What time would it be if daylight savings never started?

Why daylight savings should not go all year?

Daylight savings provides a balance of daylight in the evenings and mornings. Without the time change, there would be darker mornings in the winter, affecting visibility and potentially increasing risks for commuters and school children. Sticking to one time all year could also disrupt schedules and routines that rely on the changing of the clocks.


Why is daylight savings time called daylight savings time?

In "Daylight Saving Time," "Daylight Saving" is being used as an adjective - as in time that is saving daylight. "Daylight Savings" would be a noun itself, and makes little sense applied as an adjective in this context. Many people use the word savings, not knowing the correct way to say it. Edit; "Daylight Saving" time.


Is it more correct to say Pacific Standard Time or Pacific Daylight Time?

The answer would depend on whether it is during the observation of daylight savings time or not. When the clocks spring ahead 1 hour in the spring, you begin to use PDT (Pacific Daylight Time). When the clocks fall back an hour in the fall daylight savings time is over and then you begin to use PST (Pacific Standard Time).

What do Arizona and Hawaii do not participate in daylight savings?

Hawaii is relatively close to the equator with minor changes to daylight because of season. Daylight savings would complicate international business and tourists, with no added benefit. Arizona has determined the twice a year time changes complicate business operations without energy savings or any other benefit. Energy loss may actually occur because of increased use of residential air conditioning. Overall, daylight savings are not uniformly observed internationally. Most countries do not observe daylight saving time as the US does. Countries that observe daylight saving time do not all change their clocks on the same days or time. Operating on standard time and ignoring daylight saving time simplifies transactions in the global economy.

Is Arizona pacific time or mountain standard time?

The majority of Arizona does not observe Daylight Savings Time and so they would remain on Mountain Standard Time year around. However, there are some areas of Northeastern Arizona that do change to Daylight Savings Time and that would make them one hour ahead of the rest of Arizona for that summer season until they change back in the fall and they are then together with the rest of the state again, back on Mountain Standard Time.


Why have daylight savings time when all it does is cause unnatural stress when you lose an hour?

Daylight Savings Time was designed to "capture" early morning hours of daylight by moving them into the work day and afternoon. In this way, people on a fixed hourly schedule would not have to adjust their work times to take advantage of an earlier sunrise. It is done automatically by adding an hour when the local sunrise is between 6 and 6:30 AM.
