◆Ares India 3" brass sundial compass with box◆CAN YOU USE A SUNDIAL COMPASS AT NIGHTA sundial is designed to read time by the sun. This places a broad limit of two minutes on accurate time because the shadow of the gnomon cast by the sun is not sharp. Looking from earth the sun is ½° across making shadows fuzzy at the edge. The actual construction of a sundial can be very accurate.◆HOW CAN SHADOWS BE USED TO TELL TIMEStand outside in a clear spot so your shadow projects on the ground rather than a wall. Have a helper measure the length of your shadow. Your shadow will be longer in the beginning and end of the day, and shorter toward the middle. Look up your shadow's length on the Personal Sundial chart to determine the time.
