The Sun can help us tell the time of day. In the morning, the Sun rises in the east, and shadows are long and point toward the west. Around the middle of the day, the Sun is high in the sky, and shadows become very short. In the afternoon, the Sun moves toward the west, and shadows grow long again, pointing toward the east. By watching the Sun and the shadows, people can understand whether it is morning, midday, or afternoon. This is a natural way people used for thousands of years to live, work, and rest in rhythm with the day. No numbers. No clocks. Just watching and noticing.
