Does Pacific time change in November?

Are we gaining or losing an hour in November?
Daylight saving time in the fall means we “fall back” and — depending on your outlook — we lose an hour during the day or we gain an extra hour of sleep. For those states that observe Daylight saving time, it occurs the first Sunday in November. For 2021, the time change happens at 2 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 7.

Does Pacific Time fall back?

The main purpose of Daylight Saving Time (called “Summer Time” in many places in the world) is to make better use of daylight. We change our clocks during the summer months to move an hour of daylight from the morning to the evening. But elsewhere on Earth, there is much more daylight in the summer than in the winter.
Why do we have Daylights Savings time?
It all started out as an energy policy For decades, shifting the clocks during the months that have the most sunlight was promoted as a way to save energy. Indeed, the most recent expansion of DST came via an energy bill that Congress passed in 2005.
