Time is a physical property that measures and compares all motion in the universe. All motion in the universe has cause and effect, meaning that there is a beginning and an end to all motion in the universe. This cause and effect is the reason why time is observed to have one direction. Humans perceive this cause and effect as past, present, and future. The past is the totality of all completed motion. The present refers to all motion in progress. And the future refers to the inevitable end of all present motion as well as to all successive motion that will inevitably follow. Time measures both the internal and external motion of matter. The internal motion refers to the motion of the particles making up the atoms and molecules inside bodies. This internal motion is responsible for the formation and evolution of bodies as well as their inevitable and gradual decomposition into nothing. The external motion refers to the motion of those bodies through space. Time is basically all of history meaning that it is the history of the whole universe. Time is considered as the fourth dimension in Einstein's theories of relativity along with the three dimensions of space to form a unified continuum.

  • The official SI definition of the second is as follows:
    The second is the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium-133 atom
  • The SI base unit for time is the SI second. The International System of Quantities, which incorporates the SI, also defines larger units of time equal to fixed integer multiples of one second (1 s), such as the minute, hour, and day.

How is time calculated on other planets?

Time is a universal thing, it is always there it is always progressing at the same rate never moving backwards, time may be defined as anything. Before 1960 it was defined as a 'solar day', and a second was defined to be (1/60)*(1/60)*(1/24) of a solar day, then in 1967 we changed to the atomic clock which measures vibrations of cesium atoms, now one second is defined to be : 9192631770 times the period of vibration of radiation from the cesium-133 atom.like i said time may be defined by anything
