How did people tell time long long ago?
Egyptian obelisks of some 3500 years ago, also known as shadow clocks, they cast shadows onto markers on the ground. They showed morning sun as eastwards which turned west at noon. There were candle clocks with spaced markings, used in China from 520AD. Water clocks could be the oldest time measuring instruments. Time is regulated by the inflow and outflow of liquid. There were also incense clocks with calibrations and even with different fragrances so that hours could be noted by the change of fragrance. The sundial, as with the obelisk, records the time according to the position of the shadow cast by the sun
How did sundials help people to tell time before there were clocks?
When the sundial casts no shadow, it is noon where you are.Then you had to estimate from there, but regulars users got very close with their estimations. They also studied the tides and the stars.

What came first the Egyptian sun clock or the Egyptian water clock?
One invention still used daily by most of the people of the world is the clock. The Egyptians invented two types of clocks, sun clocks and water clocks. Both were used, and both were useful.Sun clocks were formed by means of the construction of Obelisks, tapering monuments. The clock worked much like a sundial, by watching the moving shadows throughout the day. By doing this, the Egyptians were able to divide the day into morning, afternoon, and night. This invention also led to the discovery of the longest and shortest years, because when seen at noon, depending on the time of year, the shadow would be longer, or shorter.Water clocks were some of the earliest clocks used, but didn�t require the observation of celestial bodies. The earliest one was found in the tomb of the pharaoh Amenhotep I. Water Clocks were like pots made of stones, with long slanting sides that allowed water to drip down at a constant rate through a small hole in the bottom.

How do quartz clocks work and what sets them apart from other types of clocks?
Quartz clocks work by using a small piece of quartz crystal that vibrates at a precise frequency when an electric current is applied. This vibration is converted into regular pulses that drive the clock's hands. What sets quartz clocks apart from other types of clocks is their accuracy and reliability. The quartz crystal's consistent vibration allows quartz clocks to keep time more accurately than mechanical clocks. Additionally, quartz clocks are typically more affordable and require less maintenance compared to other types of clocks.
