What Is the Science Behind Daylight Saving Time?

Daylight Saving Time is like moving the clock forward so we get more daylight in the evening. In spring, we spring forward by adding an hour to our clocks, and in fall, we fall back by subtracting an hour. It’s a little time trick that helps us save energy and enjoy extra light during the day.
