Best Answer

define 'always'.

Clocks were not invented until fairly recently.

Sundials are several thousand years older.

Before sundials were understood, I imagine that the concept of 'time' didn't mean much. You would gather food while it was bright out, and sleep when it's dark out!

Is length measured vertical or horizontal?

Length can be measured either way. The actual definition of length is the longest dimension.A shape that is two units horizontal and three units vertical will have a length of 3, and in this case, the length is measured vertical. At the same time, a shape that is three units horizontal and two units vertical will also have a length of 3, but in this case, the length is measured horizontal.Many people make the mistake of thinking that length is always horizontal or always vertical. This is incorrect, however. The easiest way to see that this is false is to rotate the shape 90 degrees; this causes the length to change to what was before the width, and as such, length is not consistent, even though the shape is the same. Length is always the longest dimension. As such, width is always the dimension that makes a (two-dimensional) right angle with the length. This will always just be the other dimension in two-dimensional objects.
