Imagine living in a world where the sky was your clock. Ancient people used the sun to know when it was day or night, and the stars helped them tell the time of year. They also made sundials, which were like big clocks that told the time based on how long the shadow moved. It’s like using a giant ruler in the sky!
Examples
- You watch the stars rise and fall as if they were moving clocks across the sky.
