Time period

A time period is a specific duration during which events occur or situations exist. It helps organize and measure how long something lasts or when something happens in relation to other events. For example, a day, a year, or a century are all time periods. Understanding time periods allows us to analyze history, plan schedules, and track changes over time. They can be short or long, depending on the context, and are fundamental to effectively structuring our understanding of the past, present, and future.
