A skylight providing internal illumination. Daylighting is the practice of placing windows or other openings and reflective surfaces so that during the day natural light provides effective internal lighting.

Daylight savings time is the process by which modern societies adjust the clock in order to capitalize on the increased sunlight during the summer months. They do this by moving the clock forward one hour ahead in the spring. This results in a shorter period of sunlight in the morning but a longer period of daylight in the afternoon. In the fall, once the long days of summer are coming to an end, the clocks then return to normal and daylight savings time comes to an end. Various means of capitalizing on the extended daylight of summer have been around for thousands of years.
