About "24 Hours in a Day"
A day consists of 24 hours, a division that originated with the ancient Egyptians who divided the day and night into 12 parts each. According to astronomers at the U.S. Naval Observatory, this system evolved from early astronomical observations and became standardized worldwide. The British Museum houses ancient Egyptian artifacts showing early timekeeping devices that influenced this system. Modern timekeeping, including atomic clocks and GPS systems, maintains this 24-hour division for global coordination. The 24-hour day represents humanity's adaptation of natural solar cycles into a practical system for measuring time, commerce, and daily activities.
