No it's not the reason why we have leap year. Overhere the bars close at 3 AM and the clock change happens at 2 AM. That night of spring when it is 2 AM it becomes 1 AM so alcoholics have one hour more to drink. The opposite in autumn, one hour less to drink. Daylight saving time began during World War 1 (1914-1918) as a measure to save energy in the industries.

I am not entirely certain where the extra hour goes. I am guessing it is just lost in the spring and you get to sleep an extra hour in the fall. And no, that is not where leap year comes from. It takes the earth approximately 365.2422 days to make one complete orbit around the sun. Using a calendar with 365 days would result in an error of 0.2422 days or almost 6 hours per year. After 100 years, this calendar would be more than 24 days ahead of the seasons (tropical year), which is not a desirable situation. It is desirable to align the calendar with the seasons, and make the difference as small as possible. Thus 365.2422 is rounded up to 365.25 days, so every four years years the extra quarter makes another full day, making Febraury have 29 days instead of 28. 2008 will be the next leap year.

The hours are stored alongside with radiaoctive wastes interior the extremely greater passive wastes of Utah, New Mexico, and Nevada. specific concrete varieties are poured around them lest the hours smash out and contaminate each guy or woman for one hundred miles around with a terminal of "manyana". If that ever occurred, we could be in basic terms like Mexico, and no person needs *that*, enormously the Mexicans.

You actually lose the hour when you go ON daylight savings "Spring forward". When you "Fall back" you're actually going back to normal time.

There are no extra hours. You don't loose anything.
