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.


Is this supposed to be about whether it's cloudy? 172.68.132.30 00:17, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
