What is a time zone?
A time zone is one area with its own time. And there are 24 time zones in the world.
Here is a chart(表格) about the time of different places in November.
| Place | Beijing, China | London, the UK | New York, the US | Tokyo, Japan | Paris, France |
| Time | 4 p.m. | 8 a.m. | 3 a.m. | 5 p.m. | 9 a.m. |
Do people change the clocks?
BST Starts BST Ends
Yes. In the UK, people use British Summer Time(BST,英国夏令时) so they change the clocks twice a year. When spring begins, they put the clock forwards by one hour. This gives more hours of daylight(日光) in the evening. In the middle of summer it gets dark at about 10 p.m.
In October, they put the clocks back by one hour. This means that students go to school in daylight. In the middle of winter, the sun rises late at about 8 a.m. and sets at about 4 p.m.
What are Chinese 24 solar terms(节气)?
The 24 solar terms have a long history in China. They show how the sun moves. And they tell the change of cold and hot seasons and guide(指导) farming activities.
Dongzhi is very important. It is usually on 21st,22nd or 23rd December. On that day, the night is the longest and the day is the shortest. To celebrate Dongzhi, people usually eat jiaozi with their family or friends.
