Daylight Saving Time

If it is 200 PDT, it would be 4:00 PM CDT (Central Daylight Time) as there is a 2-hour difference between Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) and Central Daylight Time (CDT).

Seventy-two hours is equivalent to 3 days.

I know that Arizona is unaffected

In IST the time will be 16:30. IST is +5:30 GMT and CET is +1 GMT. Hence there is a difference of 4 hours and 30 mins between the two time zones. The CET time is behind the IST time; hence the above provided result.

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.

i think the answer of that question is party time

Yes, many countries around the world use daylight savings time to make better use of daylight during the longer days of the year. However, not all countries observe this practice, and some that did in the past have since stopped.

In those countries which use Daylight Savings systems, clocks are put forward when the scheme starts and are but back when it ends. A handy way to remember this is "Spring forward, fall back" In Spring, putting the clock forward an hour means that the sun 'appears' to rise and set an hour later than it would do otherwise. It was a device introduced - largely - for agricultural workers. As so few people work on the land nowadays I don't understand why it is maintained, other than custom and practice. it greatly disrupts international trade as some countries use it and others don't.

No, we don't observe daylight saving times because we are located almost on the equator and there is hardly any seasonal variation in the times of daylight hours.

Daylight saving time starts in New South Wales on the first Sunday in October each year.

when does daylight saving finish in Tasmania 2009, end of march or beginning April

The position of the sun appears to change over a day as it rises in the east, reaches its highest point at noon, and sets in the west. This apparent motion is due to the rotation of the Earth on its axis.

It started so the farmers could have more time to farm when the weather is warm.

No, unfortunately it's not like Europe where all the time zones change at the same time. In most of North America, each time zone begins Daylight Saving Time at 2 AM local standard time and ends D.S.T. at 2 AM local daylight saving time. Therefore, since California is 3 hours behind eastern Florida, California begins and ends Daylight Saving Time 3 hours after eastern Florida does.

Daylight is longest on the summer solstice, which occurs around June 21st in the Northern Hemisphere and around December 21st in the Southern Hemisphere. This is when the sun reaches its highest point in the sky and we experience the longest day of the year.

In 2008, the time change in Canada occurred on Sunday, March 9th, when clocks were moved forward by one hour for daylight saving time. The clocks were then moved back by one hour on Sunday, November 2nd, to return to standard time.

The abbreviation for Daylight Saving Time is "DST".

As of the initial writing of the answer in October 2008, Fiji did not operate a Daylight Savings program.

However, on 10 November 2009, Fiji's Cabinet approved a pilot Daylight Savings to take effect on the 29th of November, 2009 at 2.00am. Cabinet believes that altering the time by instigating a Daylight Savings Time program will help boost the Fijian economy. The change is for 2009/2010 only at this point but Cabinet has amended the Fiji Daylight Savings Act of 1998 to allow for declaring Daylight Savings time in future years. The Fijian clocks will revert to Standard time on Sunday, 25 April 2010 at 3.00 am.

During the late part of the 1990's, in a tussle with other nations grouped along the 180 meridian, several island nations such as Figi and Tongo experimented with moving their clocks ahead so to claim they were the first country to usher in the new millennium.

These claims were not recognized and in 2000, Fiji ceased it's Daylight Savings program, after finding there were no benefits to it. There had been no alteration of the time standard since that time until this year. Fiji time nominally is +12 hours to GMT.

Update 3 March, 2010

In response to a general disapproval of the Daylight Savings program, Cabinet decided to advance the reversion to Standard Time to 28 March, 2010. While Cabinet still believes there are benefits to the program, parents in particular were objecting because children had to make their way to school in the dark. Ministry of Education responded by moving back school starting times to 9am. This resulted in parents delaying their own arrivals at work. In turn, due to these tardy arrivals, businesses leaders and organizations were advocating starting at 9am instead of 8am.

Cabinet announced that Daylight Savings will resume 24 October, 2010 and revert to Standard Time on an unspecified date in March 2011.

States that are farther south really don't need daylight savings time. There is not that much variation between the length of the day and night in Hawaii and Arizona.

Special Time Saving Message Media is a communication platform that allows users to send quick and concise messages to save time and streamline communication. It is designed for efficiency and convenience in sharing information without the need for lengthy messages.

Ben Franklin was the first to propose to save the use of candles by getting up earlier in the morning to make use of sunlight, but the US did not implement Daylight Saving Time until WWI. It was to help conserve energy resources for the war. The schedule for DST has changed many times in the US. The last change was made in 2007.

A clock is a mechanical or electronic device that tells time using hour and minute hands or digital display. A sundial is a device that uses the position of the sun's shadow to indicate the time of day. Clocks can work at any time of the day, while sundials only work when the sun is shining.

Benjamin Franklin is often credited with the idea of Daylight Saving Time, proposing the concept in 1784. He is also known for his early work in charting the Gulf Stream while he was Deputy Postmaster in charge of mail delivery between the colonies and Europe.
