Time synchronization becomes in recent years as apart and parcel for any distributed system such as sensors networks.Many applications of sensors networks need local clocksof sensors nodes to be synchronized and keep synchronizationbetween sensors in order to communicate with each other via radio linksfor sharing and treatment of reliable information. The key pointof consideration in this article is to examine and evaluate themost important synchronization algorithms based on a set offactors like energy efficiency, mobility and complexity
