Explanation

Daylight saving time (DST) is the practice of advancing clocks by one hour during warmer months (spring) and readjusting them back in autumn. This is done to make better use of natural daylight and conserve energy. The terms 'solstice' refer to astronomical events, not clock adjustments.
