Important Note for Teachers
about Sunrise/Sunset Data
for Friday, March 14, 2014
1. For
the rest of the season, we will give you sunrise/sunset times in
two formats, LocalTime and Universal
Time. Why this change? You will be using
Universal Time for this week's Time Clues and other clues.
Local
Time is the time people see on their clocks and follow
during their daily lives in each of the world's 24 time zones.
Local time matches the sun's day/night cycle in every time zone.
Universal Time is the same time everywhere
on Earth, in all of the world's time zones. Universal Time gives
us a world clock with one world time zone. Universal Time matches
standard local time in Greenwich, England (UT does not adjust for daylight saving time.)
