Re: day and night and day and night and day and night… 3
In a way yes.
You are talking similar to quartz watches.
Like I said day and nights are not needed for time.
Time still is calculated where days and nights are very very long.
Capacitor discharge has time constant. Quarts watches have set time intervals. (Older methods still used, are spring watches and pendulum frequency based on its weight.
All of these can be used to measure time WITHOUT having day and night.
