Quoted: Quoted: Standard. But it should switch to daylight all year round. Standard sucks ass. +1... I don't understand what the argument could possibly be to NOT have daylight savings time year-round. Ben Franklin's idea of shifting daylight was utter genius. This boggles the mind. To me, this thinking is like setting your watch five minutes fast and "fooling yourself." The days are not a minute longer or shorter. We are just doing things at seven o'clock instead of eight o'clock on savings time. We are free to do things at seven o'clock without all pretending it is eight o'clock. The times of day that we do things on savings time is better, IMHO, but instead of playing ourselves for fools, the logical thing to do would be to simply open and close business (etc.) an hour earlier. Who got it in their heads that ZOMG, we CAN'T go to work at seven instead of eight (unless we CALL seven eight, then it is OK)?  |

Like most other rules it's basically geared towards the lowest common denominator. |

Apparent solar timeApparent solar time or true solar time is the hour angle of the Sun. It is based on the apparent solar day, which is the interval between two successive returns of the Sun to the local meridian. Note that the solar day starts at noon, so apparent solar time 00:00 means noon and 12:00 means midnight. Solar time can be measured by a sundial. The length of a solar day varies throughout the year for two reasons. First, Earth's orbit is an ellipse, not a circle, so the Earth moves faster when it is nearest the Sun (perihelion) and slower when it is farthest from the Sun (aphelion) (see Kepler's laws of planetary motion). Second, due to Earth's axial tilt, the Sun moves along a great circle (the ecliptic) that is tilted to Earth's celestial equator. When the Sun crosses the equator at both equinoxes, the Sun is moving at an angle to the equator, so the projection of this tilted motion onto the equator is slower than its mean motion; when the Sun is farthest from the equator at both solstices, the Sun moves parallel to the equator, so the projection of this parallel motion onto the equator is faster than its mean motion (see tropical year). Consequently, apparent solar days are shorter in March (26–27) and September (12–13) than they are in June (18–19) or December (20–21). These dates are shifted from those of the equinoxes and solstices by the fast/slow Sun at Earth's perihelion/aphelion. |
