In many places in the world, clocks are put forward in late spring and then put back in early autumn. In Britain this means that the time in summer is one hour ahead of Greenwich mean time, which is the standard time used throughout the world. Clocks are put forward so that people will get up early. In this way the hours of early morning sunlight are not wasted while, people lie in bed. Also less electricity and fuel are needed in the evening because the days are long.
