Each star rose at a specific time in the day, and each time a new one appeared, a decanal hour would pass. Sundials use part of or all of a 24 hour dial because they show the positions of the sun during the day.
A day on Earth is around 24 hours relative to the sun, but note that time is relative. A day on venus is 116 days and 18 hours in Earth time. So, if it took 3 days for God to make the sun, what celestial body did he use to keep track of that time? There's not really any good way of telling what time it is if the closest stars are Alpha Centauri A and B, 4.22 light years away.
You seem really caught up with this whole 3 day thing so let me help you out; people wrote the bible, not God.
