A sundial uses the position of the sun in the sky to show the time within the day - more precisely, the true solar time. The linear sun shadow of a pole rod aligned parallel to the earth's axis usually serves as a pointer. The shadow rotates around the wand attachment point during the day on the hour-scaled dial. The direction of the shadow, which can be read on the hour scale, corresponds to the local solar time. The variety of existing sundials is primarily based on the different shape and orientation of the dial. The most common variant is the vertical sundial with a flat dial on a vertical building wall.
