In Biblical as well as Talmudic times (and for certain halakhah-purposes today too), the hours were calculated from sunrise to sunset (one-twelfth of that period was one daylight hour) and from sunset to sunrise (one-twelfth of that period was one hour of the night). The position of shadows was an approximate indicator whenever the sun was shining (which in Israel is a lot, even in winter).
