Point the pointer (Gnomon) of the sundial to the north (northern hemisphere). At twelve o'clock the shadow of the pointer should point to 12 on the face of the sundial. The sundial indicates the sun time, which is the real local time. Per degree of longitude the time varies about 4 minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause of the elliptical orbit of the earth around the sun, the sundial does not point the time precisely the whole year round (variation from -6 to +14 minutes). Therefore, you can adjust the direction of the sundial a little every month so that the variation is reduced.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gates Garden Centre","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56042906485061,"sku":"1177723","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/7458\/1061\/files\/5ae841be-round-slate-sundial.jpg?v=1761217751","url":"https:\/\/www.gatesgardencentre.co.uk\/products\/round-slate-sundial","provider":"Gates Garden Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
