	Hour - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The hour was originally defined in ancient civilisations (including those of Egypt, Sumeria, India and China) as either one twelfth of the time between sunrise and sunset or one twenty-fourth of a full day.
		As a consequence, hours on summer days were longer than on winter days, their length varying with latitude and even, to a small extent, with the local weather (since it affects the atmosphere's index of refraction).
		When, in post-classical times, a clock showed these hours its period had to be changed every morning and evening (for example by changing the length of its pendulum), or it had to keep to the position of the Sun on the ecliptic (see Prague Astronomical Clock).

	Hour
		In modern usage, an hour is defined as a unit of time 60 minutes, or 3600 seconds in length.
		When a clock showed these hours, its speed had to be changed every morning and evening (for example by changing the length of its pendulum), or it had to keep position of the Sun on ecliptic (see Prague Astronomical Clock).
		So, sunrise is always exactly at the beginning of the 1st hour, noon at the end of the 6th hour, and sunset exactly at the end of the 12th hour.

	24 hour analog clocks: history (Site not responding. Last check: )
		So a wheel that revolved once every 24 hours was the obvious solution for a device that not only kept the time, day and night, but echoed the religious view of the universe, where the heavens revolve in an God-given orderly procession around the earth.
		A 24 hour dial increases the required precision for the hour hand, because the hour hand moves less during an hour: if it's not accurate, it will soon start to be slower or faster.
		With more hours squeezed into a smaller arc, it was harder to read the exact time from a single hand on the 24 hour dial than on the 12 hour dial.

	About Daylight Saving Time (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Then, the sun will appear to rise one hour later in the morning when people are usually asleep anyway, at the benefit of one hour longer evenings when awake: The sunset and sunrise are one hour later than during normal time.
		To make DST work, the clocks have to be adjusted one hour ahead when DST begins (during spring), and adjusted back one hour to standard time every autumn.
		Today it is almost always 1 hour ahead of normal time, but during history there has been several variants of this, such as half adjustment (30 minutes) or double adjustment (2 hours), but adjustments of 20, 40 minutes have also been used.
