Which countries have daylight saving, or don't? Whichever way is easier to list.

Daylight saving confuses me.

When you put your clock back or forward that would make the time difference different from countries that don't? Or it could make your time different from places you should be on equal time with?

Close to the equator, there is little difference in the length of day and night from one month to the next. At the poles, days and nights are of six months' duration. The length of the day in summer increases as you move from the equator towards the poles. This means the sun rises earlier and earlier.

There are more people up and about at sunset than there are at sunrise so it makes sense to change the clock so that the sun rises an hour later but also sets an hour later. That change saves electricity as people do not need to turn their lights on for another hour. Farmers hate it but it was brought in to save money in the cities. In the UK during WWII they had double summer time when the clocks went two hours ahead.

As dalylight saving depends on having daylight to save, you will find that the tropical countries don't have it but all those countries in higher latitudes do. In Australia, they have it in the southern States but not in Queensland or the Northern Territory.

Daylight saving does cause initial confusion for some people but most have no problems at all.

Im in England and we are either 11, 12, or 13 hours behind you,

Daylight savings was put in place for farmers. As winter months generally have shorter hours of sunlight, we put the clock back an hour to "gain" an hour of sunlight. It doesn't really change the time per se. It just shifts our operating hours.

that's approximately attempting to shop power. agencies who use diverse power frequently close down, as quickly as that's dark (much less production). some international places participate earlier we do, some after, some do no longer participate in any respect. So, you will only could desire to envision your cellular telephone, it rather is declared to a satellite tv for pc and examine the time in different international places from there.
