STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Daylight Saving Time 2020 officially ended at 2 a.m. Sunday, when clocks were turned back to 1 a.m.
The result will be some big changes in sunrise and sunset times.
While the sun rose at 7:26 a.m. and set at 5:53 p.m. on Saturday, that changes on Sunday, with the sun rising at 6:27 a.m. The sun will set Sunday evening at 4:52 p.m. -- and it will only continue to get darker out earlier each night as winter approaches.
Benjamin Franklin is credited with the idea of Daylight Saving Time. He published a satirical essay in 1784 titled “An Economical Project,” in which he raised the idea of saving money by making good use of daylight.
Germany was the first country to implement the idea. In 1916, during World War I, the country began saving daylight to conserve electricity.
In the United States, Daylight Saving Time was first established in 1918.
However, Daylight Saving Time is not observed in all 50 states. Hawaii and Arizona (with the exception of the state’s Navajo Nation) remain on the same time year-round.
Daylight Saving Time will return on March 14, 2021.
