There are two day time systems. One is called equal sized hours and the other is variable sized hours. Our clocks or a sand clock measures equal sized hours. If you call Sunrise 6 and sunset 12, then you divide the day into 12 parts on a sun clock you get variable sized hours. This quite a handy clock for peole who wake up at dawn and go to sleep shortly after dusk. You can see such a sun clock in Jerusalem. The wisest of the Torah made calculations with both clocks and the people used the sun clock.
