Smartphones use a special tool called GPS, which helps them know exactly where you are. When you travel to a new city, your phone updates the time based on where it thinks you are. It’s like having a tiny clock inside your phone that knows when it's morning or night in every part of the world.
Examples
- Your phone changes the time automatically when you go on a plane trip.
- When you arrive at your friend’s house, their phone shows the same time as yours.
