Timelines utilize varying time intervals, ranging from centuries and decades to years, months, or days, depending on the context and purpose
What are the time intervals used
. Longer intervals such as centuries are used for major historical periods, while decades highlight specific eras. Timelines with yearly intervals provide detailed representations of historical events, and in some cases, intervals may break down to months or days for granular views.
The choice of interval depends on the timeline's purpose, the scope of events depicted, and the required level of detail to effectively showcase the chronological sequence.
