Siska,
There are technically some eight or ten kinds of time we could evidence, and
discuss. I will not go into them! These are not strange and esoteric times,
going back to the Big Bang, nor anything like that. I mean "times" like
Sidereal Time, Solar Time, Mean Solar Time, Atomic Time, Universal Time,
Dynamical Time (several variants: Terrestrial Dynamical Time; Barycentric
Dynamical Time), UT1, Coordinated Universal Time, Julian Date, and probably
some that I am forgetting. Anyway... search for info on any of these that
interest you!
Here's a joke:
Two astronomers are relaxing and having coffee:
Astronomer 1: "What time is it?"
Astronomer 2: "Oh, a WISE guy, eh?"
--Joe
PS All I know is, it's dark out.
