Local time

Okay kiddo, so time is what we use to measure how long things take and when certain events happen. Local time is the time you see on your clock or watch that shows what time it is where you are in the world.

Every place in the world has a different local time because the earth is round and it takes 24 hours for it to spin around the sun. So, as the earth spins, different parts of the world are facing the sun at different times. That's why some places have daytime while others have nighttime.

To make it easier for everyone to know what time it is, we divide the world into time zones. A time zone is a region that has the same local time. For example, if you're in New York City, you're in the Eastern Time Zone, which means that your local time is 3 hours ahead of the West Coast Time Zone, where Los Angeles is located.

So, when you go to bed and wake up, your clock shows the same time every day, but if you traveled to a different time zone, your local time would be different. This is why it's important to check the local time when you travel somewhere else.

And that's the basics of local time! Remember, wherever you go, the time will be different because of time zones and the way the earth moves around the sun.
