Understanding International Atomic Time

International Atomic Time (TAI) is a critical element of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), the global standard for establishing local times.

DST begins as the table clock springs forward, marking the transition to summer time.

Why We Shift Our Clocks

Daylight Saving Time (DST) advances clocks by one hour during the summer and returns them in the fall, allowing for the more optimal use of natural daylight.
