You can tell the time of year by looking at the stars in the sky. The ones you see tonight are the same ones you will see in any year on this date. You will see the same ones tomorrow night, but if you go out at the exact same time to look as you did tonight, you would see they were in slightly different positions. As the year continues you will notice that the stars you see are moving and you will start to see different ones. In 6 months from now, most of the stars you will see will be different than what you can see tonight, except for some that are right overhead. So if you can learn what stars are seen at what time of year, you can know what time of year it is and even work out what time it is. That is what people did long, long ago.
