Calendars
Definition Calendar "A
calendar is a system for naming periods of time, typically days.
These names are known as calendar dates. The dates may be based on
the perceived motion of astronomical objects. A calendar is also a
physical device (often paper) that illustrates the system (for
example, a desktop calendar) — this is the most common usage of the
word" Source

Clocks
Definition Clocks "
A clock (from the Latin cloca, "bell")
is an instrument for measuring time. A clock is usually a physical
instrument, an especially accurate one is called a chronometer. The
clock in its modern form (24 hour clock) has been in use since at
least the 14th century. Clock can refer to an abstract system of
time measurement (ed. see calendar for other measurements)."

Definition Time "There
are two distinct views on the meaning of time. One view is
that time is linear and part of the fundamental structure of the
universe, a
dimension in which
events occur in
sequence, and time
itself is something that can be measured....A contrasting view is
that time is part of the fundamental intellectual structure
(together with
space and
number) within
which we sequence events,
quantify the
duration of events and the intervals between them, and compare the
motions of objects.
In this view, time does not refer to any kind of entity that
"flows", that objects "move through", or that is a "container" for
events. " Source:

Definition: Time Zones "Time
zones are areas of the Earth that have adopted the same standard
time, usually referred to as the local time. Formerly, people used
local solar time (originally apparent and then mean solar time),
resulting in time differing slightly from town to town. As
telecommunications improved and with the expansion of the railways
this became increasingly awkward. Time zones partially rectified the
problem by setting the clocks of a region to the same mean solar
time. ..." Source:
