Measuring Time: Clocks Explained

This diagram shows three different types of clocks: mechanical clocks which likely use gears and pendulums to keep time, light clocks which may use the travel of light to measure time, and atomic clocks which precisely measure the vibration of atoms to track the passage of seconds. All three clocks are depicted with a starting point to indicate how they each measure the flow of time from an initial moment.
