Solar time is determined by the position of the Sun, with local noon occurring when the sun is highest in the sky. This was how communities historically measured their days, leading to slightly different times from town to town. Standard time, by contrast, applies consistent offsets from a reference meridian, which streamlines communication and travel. Although standard time is necessary for modern society, some regions debate adjusting clocks to better match daylight patterns, claiming it improves mental health and energy usage. Exploring this difference illuminates the balance between convenience and natural rhythms.
