When is solar noon?
At the equator, 0 degrees latitude, the sun angle at noon at the equinox is 90 — 0 = 90 degrees, or directly overhead.
And the closer you live to the Equator the more even your day/night is.
I used to live on Guam which is 13 North and the sun rose and set at 6:30 and 1830 everyday throughout the year so it was dark at 1900.
In a perfect world I would have a trailer pads just south of the Mackinac bridge. And somewhere in the keys.
Keep it on standard year round, thank you.
Now everything is going to metric.
Walk a kilometer in my shoes just doesn't sound right.
Go back and hold to the Prime Meridian in Greenwich and stop this time change sh**.
A friend of mine lived in Alaska. Said he’d sit down with his coffee at work and by the time he finished his first cup of coffee, the sun and risen and set.
Wow! what horrible advice! DST took me months to adjust to. And then we change the time ...again.
I started the month before going to bed 15 minutes earlier or later depending on which change was coming. It is far more natural compensation to the biorhythm than forced sleep cycles.
Forcing the same time to bed/alarm for the week is highly stressful as one lays in bed trying to get to sleep or stay awake until bedtime. The spring/fall switch is a pain.
While I prefer year-round DST, I would be fine with year-round standard. Just quit changing it!!
Plants get more light with DST.
Florida passed this.......it’s sitting in DC waiting now.
Because I have to, I just have to get out here and say that daylight savings time is the stupidest thing mankind is ever thought of. Except maybe sin. But I think daylight savings time is sin. If we ever abolish it, we should also pass a law instituting the death penalty for any politician that tries to bring it up again. Having been raised in Arizona and living there a majority of my adult life, I have seen the other side. No changing. It is as good as it sounds. Alas, I am in a land of bondage. And to think, Indiana existed without daylight savings time until 2006! How did it ever?
I have a strong opinion against all things that are nonsensical, moronic, and exert maximum government control. If you like the time change, you are woefully ignorant and probably grew up with it. Spending a lengthy time where there is no time change would cure you of that.
By the way, time change is a mark of antichrist:
Daniel 7:25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
Keep Daylight Savings Time all year !
You do realize the government doesn’t actually create another hour of sunlight, right?
The way it is currently set up, beginning DST on the second Sunday in March and ending it on the first Sunday in November, makes DST the norm rather than a deviation from normal. Where I live, it also puts the sunrise directly to the East on our section line roads right about 8:00 am, during the morning commute. This is known as a”Sunshine Slowdown “
Which is a major factor in making the planet habitable.
Each state can opt out of DST, if they choose. Some have.
Yes, especially since the second Sunday in March is still officially WINTER!
How do those people who complain about the DST time change survive the time change when taking transcontinental or transoceanic flights?
