Imagine it's summer, and you get to play outside longer because the sun stays up later, that’s Daylight Saving Time! We move our clocks forward by one hour in spring so we can enjoy more daylight in the evening. In fall, we move them back to go to bed earlier. It’s like giving time a little nudge to match the seasons.
Examples
- Your mom goes to bed earlier in the fall because she thinks it's still 9:00 PM, but it's actually 10:00 PM.
- Your dog gets confused when your family changes clocks, they think it’s a different day!
