Why is it called Father Time?
As an image "Father Time's origins are curious". The ancient Greeks themselves began to confuse chronos, their word for time, with the agricultural god Cronos, who had the attibute of a harvester's sickle.
Symbols of Time
In physics, spacetime is any mathematical model which fuses the three dimensions of space and the one dimension of time into a single four-dimensional continuum. Spacetime diagrams can be used to visualize relativistic effects, such as why different observers perceive where and when events occur differently.

What does Father Time look like?
When you see Father Time, he usually looks like a very old man with a long white beard. He often wears a shabby robe and carries both a scythe and an hourglass or some other timekeeping device. ... The ancient Greeks often referred to Saturn as Kronos or Chronos, which means “time."

Mother Nature (sometimes known as Mother Earth or the Earth-Mother) is a Greco-Roman personification of nature that focuses on the life-giving and nurturing aspects of nature by embodying it, in the form of the mother.

The word "nature" comes from the Latin word, "natura", meaning birth or character. In English, its first recorded use (in the sense of the entirety of the phenomena of the world) was in 1266.
"Natura" and the personification of Mother Nature were widely popular in the Middle Ages. As a concept, seated between the properly divine and the human, it can be traced to Ancient Greece, though Earth may have been personified as a goddess.
The various myths of nature goddesses such as Inanna/Ishtar (myths and hymns attested on Mesopotamian tablets as early as the 3rd millennium BC) show that the personification of the creative and nurturing sides of nature as female deities has deep roots.
In Greece, the pre-Socratic philosophers had "invented" nature when they abstracted the entirety of phenomena of the world as singular: physis, and this was inherited by Aristotle.
Later medieval Christian thinkers did not see nature as inclusive of everything, but thought that she had been created by God; her place lay on earth, below the unchanging heavens and moon.
Nature lay somewhere in the center, with agents above her (angels), and below her (demons and hell). For the medieval mind she was only a personification, not a goddess. More about Mother Earth on Wiki.

Father Time is the personification of Time. In recent centuries he is usually depicted as an elderly bearded man, sometimes with wings, dressed in a robe and carrying a scythe and an hourglass or other timekeeping device - Hourglass (which represents time's constant one-way movement, and more generally and abstractly, entropy).
Hourglass 243, post card, Father Time
As an image "Father Time's origins are curious". The ancient Greeks themselves began to confuse Chronos, their word for time, with the agricultural god Cronos, who had the attribute of a harvester's sickle. The Romans equated Cronos with Saturn, who also had a sickle, and was treated as an old man, often with a crutch. The wings and hour-glass were early Renaissance additions, and he eventually became a companion of the Grim Reaper, personification of Death, often taking his scythe. He may have as an attribute a snake with its tail in its mouth, an ancient Egyptian symbol of eternity.

New Year
New Year - Around New Year's Eve, the media (in particular editorial cartoons) use the convenient trope of Father Time as the personification of the previous year (or "the Old Year") who typically "hands over" the duties of time to the equally allegorical Baby New Year (or "the New Year") or who otherwise characterizes the preceding year.
In these depictions, Father Time is usually depicted wearing a sash with the old year's date on it. Time (in his allegorical form) is often depicted revealing or unveiling the allegorical Truth, sometimes at the expense of a personification of Falsehood, Fraud, or Envy. This theme is related to the idea of veritas filia temporis (Time is the father of Truth). More about Father Time on Wiki.

Father Time
The personification of Time and the more friendly version of the Grim Reaper. Typically pictured as an old man with a white beard and oft times carrying a scythe and hourglass. In ancient times he was known as Chronus or Saturn.
Father Time is married to Mother Earth; just as the Grim Reaper, the personification of Death, is married to Life who pictured as a young lady in artwork.
He symbolizes the flow of time and its effects. His old body is a reminder that time is the devourer of all things and that, like the sand in the hourglass he often carries, his life will run out, as all good things come to an end.

I’ve always loved space. It wasn’t a “loud” love but it was definitely always there, and I ate up anything SpaceRelated that I was randomly exposed to. And I always dreamed of taking Calc and Physics. But after a series of terrible math teachers and fights with my Super Engineer Dad when he tried helping me with (literally ALL) of my homework...I gave up. Never took those classes and therefore didn’t have a shot at trying in college. Any advice about how to Try Again (with only Alg2) as an adult
I totally get you! I wanted to be an astronomer at one point, but then I found out how much math it was, and because I hated math class, I gave up on the dream. Math class totally kills appreciation for math in most children. I also know how it is when a helpful parent... overdoes it, shall we say? Going bowling with my dad wasn’t “Hey, let’s learn how to bowl, it’ll be fun!”; it was “And Now Time To Train For the Olympic Bowling Team.” I still don’t like bowling to this day, which is just as well, ‘cause I’m not any good at it. I gave up because Dad was so overbearing about it.
Thankfully, we now have the internet! There’s literally an entire world of help out there, and none of it involves your dad (or mine). I did some quick googling:
Here’s a series of calculus lessons taught more intuitively. The first page even has links to some other calculus resources.
I keep seeing the Khan Academy as a suggested resource for learning physics - they even have a video series regarding NASA! They have calculus, too.
If you haven’t checked out Neil deGrasse Tyson’s book Astrophysics for People in a Hurry yet, definitely do so! It’s a great read, and while it doesn’t have much (if any? it’s been a while since I read it) math in it, he explains the concepts very well.
Before we had Dr. Tyson, we had Richard Feynman, and his notable lectures on physics, which are now available to read online for free. There’s also The Planetary Society, a non-profit space organization, started by Carl Sagan and currently run by Bill Nye.
Check out what’s going on locally, too. A lot of places in the US have amateur astronomers’ clubs. Is there a planetarium or observatory near you? I know that (pre-COVID-19 anyway) the IU observatory was open to the public on Wednesday nights.
Hopefully this will help you with your dream, Space Anon :) Don’t give up!!
Go, be great.
