Time isn’t always measured the same way, some people count days by the moon, others use stars to know when a new year starts. Imagine if your birthday was based on where you were in space! That’s how time works for some cultures.
Examples
- The moon helps people in some places know when to plant crops.
- In some countries, your birthday is based on a dragon or rat instead of numbers.
- Stars help people start the year at different times.
