The pattern for the graph is that when the number of days increases, the Amount of Daylight increases until it reaches to
around the 6-8 days of the month. When it reaches about the 7th first day of the month it starts to fall back down to where it starts
which is 9:36. This pattern occurs maybe because the sun goes faster or slower every year that’s why we created Daylight Savings.
