How does the brain actually process time?

Question

Not necessarily in the sense of memories and past experiences, but instead more in the vein of how my brain would know/estimate that it’s been roughly a minute, or an hour?

Answer 1

For me it’s things happening regularly at set times and how light/ dark it is outside,sun is brightest at midday,we’re all taught as kids to count seconds and minutes so we all have a good concept of how much time has passed (as well as regularly looking at clocks,watches)x
