Why Do We Use ‘Hours’ to Measure Time?

We use hours because they help us divide the day into manageable parts. Imagine your day is a big chocolate bar, and each hour is like one piece of that bar, it helps you plan better! Long ago, people noticed the sun moving across the sky and divided the day into 12 parts. That’s where hours came from!
