What was the first method people used to tell the time?
The first method people used to tell time was based on the natural movement of the sun, specifically through the use of sundials. Ancient civilizations observed the position of the sun in the sky, which cast shadows on marked surfaces, indicating the time of day. As technology evolved, water clocks and hourglasses were developed, allowing for more precise time measurement independent of sunlight.
Well how do people tell the time by the sun?
The first methods for telling the time relied on the movement of the sun across the sky. When the sun was directly overhead it was the middle of the day, or 'noon' and when it was on the horizon, it was early morning or early evening, depending if it was in the east or the west. However, this method was not very accurate, but nevertheless, it has been used for countless years, from early man, right though to today. There are also sun dials, where the movement of a shadow across a graded disc corresponds to a certain time.
How can you tell time through sun's position?
You can tell time by observing the position of the sun in the sky. The sun rises in the east and moves westward across the sky, reaching its highest point at solar noon. By noting the direction of the sun and estimating its angle above the horizon, you can approximate the time.
