Time is like a story that helps us understand when things happen. Imagine you're playing with your toys, time tells you when it's morning, afternoon, or night. Long ago, people didn't have clocks, but they still knew time by the sun and the stars. They thought of time as something that moved forward like a river. Some ancient thinkers even believed time was created along with the world.
Examples
- A sundial tells time based on how long the shadow moves as the sun goes across the sky.
- You can count your breaths to know when a minute has passed.
- You use the clock on your phone to know it's time for dinner.
