How Did the Idea of ‘Time’ Evolve Over Centuries?

Time is like a magical invisible friend that helps us know when to wake up, eat, and play.

Long ago, people didn’t have clocks or watches. They used the sun as their friend, when the sun was high, it was day; when it went down, it was night. This was called day and night, like a simple game of hide-and-seek with the sky.

Then came the moon, which gave us another way to count time. People noticed the moon changing shape every few days, full, half, thin, and back again. These were called months, and they helped people know when it was time for harvests or holidays.

Later on, clever inventors made clocks that ticked like a heartbeat. People could now tell the exact hour, no more waiting for the sun to rise! This made life easier, like having a magical friend who always told you what time it was.

Now we have watches and phones that can count seconds, minutes, and hours, just like having a team of time friends all around us!
