In accordance with the Law on Calculation of Time on the Territory of
the Republic of Armenia, on March 27, at 2.00 a.m. local time the
hands of the clock should be moved an hour forward, marking the start
of `summer time,' Press Service of the Ministry of Economy informs.
The hands of the clock were first moved in England in 1908. 192
countries of the world, including the United States and a number of EU
countries change the time twice a year.
Daylight Saving Time (or summertime as it is called in many countries)
is a way of getting more light out of the day by advancing clocks by
one hour during the summer. During Daylight Saving Time, the sun
appears to rise one hour later in the morning, when people are usually
asleep anyway, and sets one hour later in the evening, seeming to
stretch the day longer.
