Time is measured in divisions such as days, hours, seconds, years, etc. By studying astronomy, we can measure time.

The book discusses the history of different timekeeping methods, including the origins of our months and years, and also looks at different calendars, including the Gregorian calendar, the most widely used calendar of the present day. The book explains how to use the knowledge of these celestial bodies to calculate the day of the week and even the date of Easter, which is an important calculation for the Christian church.
