Who is William Willet?

William Willet was a man who helped people keep track of time better than before.

Imagine you have a clock that only shows you one part of the day, like morning or afternoon, but not both. That would be confusing, right? Well, William Willet wanted to fix that problem by giving clocks more parts so they could show all times clearly, just like how you might use different colors to sort your toys.

William Willet came up with the idea of having 24 hours in a day, not just 12. This way, people could tell if it was morning or evening by looking at the clock, just like knowing whether it's time for breakfast or bedtime.

He also helped make daylight saving time happen, which is when we move our clocks forward so we can have more daylight in the evenings, kind of like giving the day an extra minute to play with you!
