| Daylight Saving Time begins for most of the United States at 2 a.m. on the first Sunday of April (clocks set forward one hour). Time reverts to standard time at 2 a.m. on the last Sunday of October (clocks set back one hour). In the U.S., each time zone switches at a different time. | |

Pope Gregory XIII established the modern calendar in 1582 by removing three leap years from every 400 year cycle, compared to the old Julian calendar which provided for a leap year every fourth year without exception. The excluded leap years were those that are a multiple of 100 but not of 400; so 1700, 1800, and 1900 were no longer leap years under the Gregorian calendar, but the year 2000, a multiple of 400, was still a leap year.
