How many countries do not use daylight saving time?

Why do most countries not change their clocks?

Near the equator, day length barely changes through the year, so moving the clocks gains nothing. Many other countries tried it and stopped, citing health, energy savings that failed to appear, or the confusion of changing clocks twice a year.
