TIME

CREATED BY: MISS N NDLOVU


Key Words:

 Analogue Clocks: Clocks with hands that point


to the numbers.
 Digital clocks: Clocks that show the time by
numbers only.
 Century: 100 years.
 Time interval: Length of time that passes.
Example

What time is shown on these two


clocks?

Both clocks show 7 hours and 25


minutes. You can read the time as
07:25 or as 25 minutes past 7.
CONVERT UNITS OF TIME

 It is important to be able to convert correctly between


the different units of time, especially when you do time
calculations. Remember that a century is 100 years.
• 60 seconds = 1 minute
• 60 minutes = 1 hour
• 24 hours = 1 day
• 7 days = 1 week
• 1 century = 100 years
• 1 month = about 4 weeks
• 12 months = 1 year
• 1 year = 365 days
• 1 leap year = 366 days
TIME ZONES

 A long time ago, communities used their own timekeeping system. As travel
became easier with new railways, the need for standard time increased to
allow for the scheduling of trains.
 The rotation of the earth causes some parts of the world to be in darkness
while others have daylight. This means that time is different for different
places around the world. The world is divided into 24 time zones.
 The lines that run from the North Pole to the South Pole to divide time zones
are called zone meridians. The Greenwich Meridian, which passes through
London, became the main meridian for timekeeping where standard time
would be read.
INTERPRET CALENDARS

 A calendar date consists of the day of the month, the month and the year. You
should be able to calculate time intervals using your knowledge of calendars.
 Example:

Calculate how much time passes from 12 June at 09:00 until 23 July at 18:00.

Number of days in June = 18

Number of days in July = 23

Total number of days = 41

Time in hours from 09:00 until 18:00 = 18 hours – 9 hours = 9 hours

The time interval is 41 Days and 9 hours.
