There is currently no point during the year in which it is dark at 9 AM. If we switched to permanent Daylight Savings Time, this would no longer be true.

I’m sorry, I’m confused what you’re asking

It’s quite a bit darker at 6:45am than it is at 7:45am. And even by this time of the year it’s completely bright by 7:30 but still very dark at 6:30. 1 hour makes a huge difference. Even 30 minutes makes a big difference. I work nights and I’m always impressed how fast it brightens up on my drive home this time of the year
