Revision as of 00:59, 16 November 2021
When did y'all in the US "fall back" your clocks? It has a look of being (askewedly) inspired by DST reversal, and I know you did one of the switches at a different typical weekend than us (UK BST>GMT was last weekend of October), but I thought it was 'first weekend of month-after-(the-month-that-it-is-our-last-weekend-of)'. You know, I could have just looked this up. 172.70.85.227 00:11, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
Second question, more easily expressed and less obviously answered, which sun-up/sun-down is this calculated by? Nautical, civil, etc? 172.70.85.227 00:11, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
I think at the equator, you get one day per day. At the pole you get two days per day in summer, then one six month long day.Template:Unsigned
