Unraveling the mysteries of time through science, culture, and technology
Tap to reveal a quote about time...
A day on Venus is longer than its year! It takes Venus 243 Earth days to rotate on its axis but only 225 Earth days to orbit the Sun.
Time moves faster at higher altitudes! According to Einstein's theory of relativity, time passes slightly faster at higher elevations due to gravity's effects.
The ancient Egyptians were the first to divide the day into 24 hours, based on the position of the stars.
Leap seconds are occasionally added to UTC to keep atomic time in sync with Earth's rotation.
The world's most accurate clock would only lose or gain one second in 14 billion years!
