How to Tell Time with No Clock

Not everyone has something to tell them the time. Here is some ways you can tell time without needing the assistance of a machine.

Throughout the ages, time has been kept track of by the people of the earth. But how is it that people in history were able to tell what time of day it was? The answer lies in this article.

I have put together a list of ways that you can tell time without the assistance of a clock. Many people who get stranded in the wild use these techniques to help them stay alive.

  • midday mark- when sun reaches highest point in day it is roughly noon.

When using the sun to tell time, do not look directly into sun. This can be very dangerous for your eyes.

Hope you have a better understanding of how to tell time without a clock. Thanks for stopping bye.

    Well done! I agree, as a scout I’ve learned to do just that, look to the sun.

    After my last comment, you may not believe me, but I swear it is true. I can tell you what time it is within ten minutes on any given day or night. Why? I do not know.

    Very good advice. Thank you. I think it could make a nice compass out there, too.
