Twisting the clocks helps save energy by giving us more light in the evening. Imagine it like turning on a light switch, we move time forward so the sun feels like it stays longer. Some people even think of it as a little trick that helps us feel like there's more day.
Examples
- You move your clock forward by one hour in spring and back in autumn.
- Your school starts later because the sun is still up when you get home from recess.
- Your mom gets more sunlight to do her gardening after work.
