Clocks and Timekeeping

Clocks and timekeeping are systems used to measure and organize time. A clock visually represents time, displaying hours and minutes, while calendars track days, months, and years. Various timekeeping methods have evolved, from sundials in ancient civilizations to mechanical clocks and modern digital devices. Timekeeping is essential for daily activities, coordinating schedules, and scientific research. It is based on the consistent movement of celestial bodies, such as the Earth's rotation and orbit around the sun, which provide a reliable framework for understanding and managing time throughout human history.
