For daylight saving there will be two types of zones and it would be very confusing I think. For example the "-5" zone goes through parts of South and North America, and I want to show that - but then I will also want to show that the US is in Daylight Savings come summer.
And yes, the world spins too slowly in the animation. Maybe I should have a button that can select the ratio of days? Certainly at 365 spins/year you need a lot of patience to see the seasonal variation.

This new one is spectacular!!!!!!! I don't know how you do it. And on the solar system one, it is very nice, but to
be more accurate, you would sacrifice movement of the earth around the sun, or would have to spin the earth
faster because it only spins maybe thirty times around in one year instead of 365.25
Did you try it at 365 spins, and not like how slowly it went around the sun??
But I must stress that the work is totally incredible!!!!!!!!
Would it be possible to make buttons so that you could shift it forward an hour, a day, a month, etc.?

Will the World Clock replace the Sun clock?
Some ideas for Daylight Saving:
Daylight Saving doesnt actually 'save' anything. All it really does is take one hour from the morning when we might be sleeping and moves it to the evening so we can enjoy the light outside. In the summer and spring months, we move our clocks one hour forward to enjoy the warm, light evenings. When it starts getting colder, we change our clocks back. Although this means it will quickly get dark very early in the evenings, we do this so we can wake up in the morning with the sun up. Most people don't like getting out of bed when it is dark, and especially not while it is cold.
I decided to just put them on the website so you guys can tell me what is wrong or right about them, and in the meantime I can get on with spam-protecting the forum. These are the pages:
World Time Zones
Earth's Orbit and Daylight
Did I get anything wrong (like the earth orbiting the wrong direction ... you know), or is it not explained well.
And any suggestions about how I could include Daylight Savings without making it all just too complicated.
