A clock keeps time accurately by using a steady rhythm. Imagine you're tapping your foot to music, if the music is perfectly timed, you’ll tap exactly every second. A clock has something like that inside it: a pendulum or a spring that moves with perfect timing so it can count seconds and keep time correctly.
Examples
- A ticking clock inside a classroom keeps students in sync with their lessons.
- A grandfather clock in the hallway seems to count each second perfectly, never losing time.
- Even a simple wall clock can keep track of your morning routine accurately.
