Read, learn, and understand ... the time
Knowing the time helps you manage your schedule and understand the day-night cycle. It also helps you know what time your appointments are.
Midnight is the middle of the night. It is equivalent to 12:00 a.m. or 24:00. People must set their clocks forward one hour in the spring (and set them back one hour in the fall).
When 24 hours have passed, a new day begins.
60 seconds = 1 minute
60 minutes = 1 hour
24 hours = 1 day
365 days = 1 year.
To be able to tell time, this ability to count in fives is very useful.
Benjamin Franklin had proposed setting the clock forward in the summer, and even then the argument was that it would save energy. In France, during the winter there is a difference of about one hour between standard time and sunrise. In the summer, the clock is set forward by another hour, for a total difference of about two hours compared to sunrise.
