Short answer: Yes, through observation you can tell what happens in a given interval of time.

Long answer: It is not possible to measure everythingthat happens in a given interval of time, but only atomic (individual) changes. For instance, if you wanted to measure radioactive decay over a period of time, you would measure the amount of radioactivity at a starting point, measure a set amount of time passing then measure the level of radioactivity at the end. Subtracting the last measured radioactivity from the initial measurement will give you the amount of radioactive decay. In a simpler example, you could measure your height on January 1st of 2012, then again on January 1st of 2013 to see how your height has changed over the course of one year.

How can you tell the time using a shadow clock?

To tell time using a shadow clock, place a stick upright in the ground and mark its shadow at regular intervals throughout the day. As the sun moves across the sky, the shadow will move as well, allowing you to estimate the time based on the position of the shadow in relation to the marked intervals.


What do you notice about these two time intervals?

To provide an accurate response, I would need more context about the two specific time intervals you're referring to. Generally, when comparing two time intervals, one might notice differences in duration, their relevance to certain events or processes, or patterns in frequency or occurrence. Such comparisons can reveal trends, cycles, or anomalies in data or behavior over time.

Hydrocodone is a fast-acting pain reliever for mild/severe pain that is often prescribed to take as needed for pain not surpassing a certain amount over a period of time, such as no more than one every 4-6 hours. Oxycontin is a time-released pain reliever for severe/chronic pain that is prescribed at certain intervals of time, such as every 8 hours. You take Oxycontin at given, prescribed intervals due to the time release.

Why are the eons and eras not equal in length?

Geologists have divided Earth's history into a series of time intervals. These time intervals are not equal in length like the hours in a day. Instead the time intervals are variable in length. This is because geologic time is divided using significant events in the history of the Earth.
