Imagine you're a kid who loves the sun. In some places, people used the sun to know when it was time for dinner or bedtime. They watched how the sun moved across the sky, and that helped them understand time! Some cultures even counted days based on the moon's phases, like a giant clock in the sky. So, different groups of people came up with their own ways to know when it was time for something important.
Examples
- A child counts how many times the sun moves across the sky each day.
- A farmer uses the moon to know when it's time for harvest.
- A person watches the stars to figure out what season it is.
