Daylight Saving Time

Not any more. When it was first introduced, it was done so because public street lighting wasn't as effective as it is now. These days, with modern lighting - there's no real need to switch to daylight saving time.

The hope is that we save energy - since there's less of a need to switch on the lights if natural light will do . [Studies have shown the electricity conserved on the new schedule is actually pretty nominal .]

To make everyone get up an hour earlier during the spring, summer, and early fall when there is more daylight during both morning and evening hours as not to waste all of those extra morning hours in bed, while still pretending that we are getting up at the same time by setting our clocks an hour fast so that most of us don't notice.

Someone has to stop it and kinda wind it on. The gravity stoppers, that allow the hands to move every 2 seconds are removed and the clock hands move quickly. When the correct time is reached, the gravity stops on the pendulum is replaced and the hands are only allowed to move at 2 second initials again.

Day and night varies throughout the year depending on the angle of the sun and the axis of the earth. The further you are from the equator the greater the differences. If you live on the equator the difference is virtually nil.

Everywhere north of the Arctic Circle and south of the Antarctic Circle has at least one day per year on which the sun does not set. The closer you get to the poles, the more days without a sunset there are. Six months later, those places have multiple consecutive days on which the sun never rises.

The formula for determining potential difference is V = W/q, where V represents potential difference (in volts), W is the work done moving a charge (in joules), and q is the amount of charge moved (in coulombs).

On the equinox, there is 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of night everywhere except the poles. At the poles, the equinox means that the sun is either rising for the first time in 6 months or setting for the first time in 6 months.

Daylight Saving Time was first implemented in 1916, during World War I.

No, Tennesse didn't go on daylight saving time until 1970s.

the farmers invented it for crop things.

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.

Yes. Spain, like the whole of Western Europe (and possibly all of Europe) puts the clocks forward at 2am on the last Sunday in March, and back again at 3am on the last Sunday in October. Spain is GMT +1, so is EST +6.

Alabama has observed daylight saving time every year since 1918, including year-round from February, 1942 until September, 1945.

Arizona (except some Indian Reservations), Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and American Samoa have chosen not to observe Daylight Saving Time.

You don't do a thing!! My husband replaced the batteries on our the other night, and after a few minutes (I assume it got a radio signal update) it reset itself! Pretty cool... You are wrong!!!!! I asked for a manual reset, not waiting for the clock to maybe catch up.

Though you would expect twelve hours of day and twelve hours of night at the Equator, that is not the case. Because of atmospheric refraction and the size of the Sun, it actually exceeds 12 hours by about 7 minutes each day.

Everywhere north of the Arctic Circle and south of the Antarctic Circle has at least one day per year without a sunset and at least one day per year without a sunrise. The closer you get to the poles the longer the periods of constant daylight and constant darkness. Directly at the geographic poles there is one sunrise per year and one sunset per year.

It started as a method to match the clock with the sunlight, providing more daylight time during normal working hours. This reduced the need for electricity and reduced energy consumption.

yes

Because they hate change of course..

Daylight saving time was first observed in Michigan in 1918 as part of a nation-wide effort during World War I to conserve energy. Though it was repealed after the war, it was reinstated during World War II and has been in effect intermittently since then.
