We tell time every day,

whether it is by looking at

our cell phones, watches, or

a clock on the wall. Before

cell phones and the

popularity of digital

clocks, we used analog

clocks to tell time.

A clock or watch is called

“analog” when it has

moving hands, and hours

marked from 1 to 12, to

show you the time.
