What instruments did the Elizabethans use to tell the time?

Instruments commonly used by Elizabethans to tell time included sundials, hourglasses, and candle clocks. Sundials relied on the position of the sun's shadow to indicate the time, while hourglasses measured time by the flow of sand, and candle clocks used the time it took for a marked candle to burn down.

Why Clock rotates clockwise direction?

The direction in which clocks are designed to move was likely influenced by sundials, which tracked the movement of the sun's shadows in the Northern Hemisphere. The clockwise direction was chosen for consistency and ease of reading, as it matched the natural movement of shadow on a sundial. Over time, this convention became standardized in clock design.

Why there is no year zero in our calendar?

Our system of numbering the year originated from the birth of Jesus Christ (hence the terms BC - Before Christ and AD - Anno Domini - in the year of Our Lord). This system did not become widespread for many years after Jesus ans so the years had to be counted back to when iit was believed he was born. However, there were two mistakes in the calculation; first, there was no year zero included (so the year before 1 AD was 1 BC) and, in any case, the year which they took to be Christ's birth was also wrong, his actually being born in or around what we call 4 BC. But the calendar, with its errors, stuck - and we have been using it ever since over 2000 years later.

How many hours are there in seven days?

It depends upon the what a day is being measured as. The most basic way to solve this question: One day is the equivalent to 24 hours, so to find the amount of hours in seven days, then multiply 24 by 7, which is 168 hours.

However, if we use sidereal day (a day measured with respect to the stars), then a day equivalent to 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4 seconds, or 23.934444... after converting into a decimal. Multiplying this number by 7 days would yield the answer of 167.54111 hours.

How do you convert 525600 minutes to days?

A minute equals 0.000694444444 days, or 6.94444444 x 10-4 days. To convert minutes to days, just multiply your minutes by 6.94444444 x 10-4. It turns out that it's right at about 365 days. And 365 days happens to be a year, as you might have seen.

If you went to bed at eight in the evening and set the alarm to get up at nine in the morning how many hours of sleep would this permit?

With a "regular" alarm clock, your alarm would go off at nine p.m. and you'd be stuck resetting it to have it go off at nine a.m. You may get 1 + 12 or 13 hours of sleep. Maybe. If you had a contemporary electric (electronic) alarm clock, it could be set for nine p.m. or nine a.m. You'd get 13 hours of sleep without being awakened one hour after setting the alarm. Some of us have been around for a while and used both kinds of clock, and the "original" alarm clocks were around before the snazzy new fangled ones. And we know the drill.
