How to Use:
- Find a suitable flat surface where you'd like to place the sundial compass. This can be a garden, patio, or any location with ample sunlight.
- Ensure the sundial compass is level, and the gnomon (center rod) is pointing toward the North Star (in the Northern Hemisphere) or the Southern Cross (in the Southern Hemisphere).
- As the sun's position changes during the day, the shadow cast by the gnomon will move, indicating the time on the sundial's face.
- Keep in mind that this sundial may require occasional adjustments to account for the changing position of the sun throughout the year.
Note:
- The sundial compass is designed for decorative and educational purposes. While it can provide approximate time readings, it is not as precise as modern timekeeping devices.
