so that we know what time of day it is

We use time mostly for placing events that have happened or may happen. time however of a human decent, is used to explain many things used in todays society, and universe.

Without the use of time, many things could not exist, such as aspect.

EX: using forensic science, alignment of planets, etc. I think even advanced math depends on equasions that deal with time.

IE: how they determine the seek time on a device used in a computer they call a "Hard Disk" or "Hard Drive". May be rated in nano-seconds. (proprietary)

Some ways to measure time include using clocks (analog or digital), timers, hourglasses, sundials, calendars, and electronic devices such as smartphones and smartwatches. Time can also be measured using more advanced methods like atomic clocks and astronomical observations.

Time can be measured in several different ways. It can be measured by seconds, minutes, hours or even days, months, or years.

I suppose you mean "what"? The SI unit for time is the second.

What are the 3 ways to measure electricity in circuit?

The three ways to measure electricity in a circuit are voltage, current, and resistance. Voltage is the measure of electrical potential difference between two points, current is the flow of electric charge in a circuit, and resistance is the opposition to the flow of current.

Why did early experimental attempts to measure the speed of light fail?

If you want to measure the speed of something, you first have to recall that speed is (distance traveled) divided by (time to travel the distance), and then you realize that you have to measure the distance it travels and the time it takes to travel that distance. If it happens to be the speed of light, then you immediately have a serious problem. The speed of light is so great that ... -- If you pick a distance that's easy to measure, then the time is impossibly short. For example, if you pick ten miles, then you have to accurately measure 0.00005368 of one second, which is pretty tough. -- If you pick a time that's easy to measure, then the distance is ridiculously long. For example, if you pick 0.1 second, then you have to accurately measure 18,628.2 miles, which is enormously tough. Both of these methods are theoretically and technically perfect, and completely impossible to actually use for the speed of light. You have to invent whole new clever ways to measure speed.
