Daylight Saving Time is like moving the clock to make more daylight in the evening. Imagine it's summer, and you want to stay outside longer, so we just twist the clocks forward by one hour! That means you get an extra hour of sunlight at night, but you lose an hour in the morning. It’s like stretching the day a little bit.
Examples
- When Daylight Saving Time comes, your morning gets shorter, you lose an hour when you wake up, but you get it back in the evening.
- Daylight Saving Time is like having a second day every few months, sometimes you stretch the day forward, and sometimes you shrink it backward.
- During Daylight Saving Time, kids stay outside longer because they get to play until an extra hour.
