Why Do We Ask 'What Is Time?'

Imagine you're playing with your toys. You know when it's morning, noon, and night, that's time. But what if there was no clock or sun to tell you the hours? Time is like a big invisible ruler we use to measure how long things happen. People ask 'What is time?' because they want to understand something that feels real but isn’t always easy to define.

People wonder about time because it helps them know when to go to bed, when to eat, and even when life changes, like growing up or getting old.
