This happens because when you stare at the clock, you are watching it all the time which makes it appear to be slower than it sometimes can be; but if you distract yourself, then you are looking at it less frequently, therefore noticing the change a lot more and consequently thinking that it goes faster when truthfully it is going at the same speed all the time. I hope that made sense, it's quite hard to explain.

How does one determine the ideal location on the wall to place a clock?
One can determine the best location to place a clock by simply working out at what angle a clock looks aesthetically pleasing, and whether the location is efficient for telling the time, and looks good. It is best to place clocks in the middle of walls and to make sure the colour of the clock doesn't clash with surrounding wall colours, and to make sure the time can be seen from as many angles and positions as possible.
What does the world time clock do that normal clocks dont?
The World Time Clock shows you the time in various cities and countries around the world, and adjusts for various time zones. Whereas, a normal clock will only show you the time as you set it at your location.

i don't know who made them but sun dials are an old type of way to tell the time
Why is this class taking so long?
I ask the same question all the time! You're just bored. If your staring at the clock that doesn't help either because time goes slower when staring at a clock, trust me. If you have block scheduling, the classes are SUPER long. Just hang in there, it will be over before you know it!
How do you change the time on a 2002 Trailblazer factory clock?
Take the clock on a trip to the sun and it will tick slower. This means that time will go SLOWER!! Take the clock on a trip to the sun and it will tick slower. This means that time will go SLOWER!!
How do you make clock on little alchemy?
Time + Electricity = Clock or Time + Wheel = Clock
How do you make a clock on little alchemy?

What impact has the digital clock made on society?
the time is more accurate and the time does not go faster or slower according to the temp.
How do you make time slower?
You can't.
Relationship between period of pendulum and length?
The longer a pendulum is, the more time it takes a pendulum takes to complete a period of time. If a clock is regulated by a pendulum and it runs fast, you can make it run slower by making the pendulum longer. Likewise, if the clock runs slow, you can make your clock run faster by making the pendulum shorter. (What a pendulum actually does is measure the ratio between time and gravity at a particular location, but that is beyond the scope of this answer.)
Speed during longer periods of time?
The faster you go the slower your clock runs from the point of view of someone at rest.
What does rubidium make or do?
Rubidium can make a atomic clock, a very precise clock that gives you the exact time.
What does it mean to say that time speeds up or slows down due to time dilation -- how do you measure the speed of time?
You can use any type of clock that you wish, but the most interesting one is your own biological clock. Meaning the faster you go, the slower you live.
How did the clock make peoples life easier?
The clock helps us by showing the time.
What effect would the temperature have on the time kept by pendulum clock if the pendulum rod increased in length with an increase in temperature?
A longer pendulum will result in a longer period. The clock would go slower.
