Hi friend......


here's Ur answer....



When the earth rotates about its axis, the sun appears to “move” across the sky, causing objects to cast shadows. A sundial contains a gnomon, or a thin rod, that casts a shadow onto a platform etched with different times. As the sun changes relative positions over the course of a day, the rod’s shadows change as well, thus reflecting the change in time.


Hope it helps.....

Sun dial means, the recognition of time by observing the movement of the sun.
In a sundial there would be a stick dumped perpendicular over the surface which in turn gives the shadow when the sun is in opposite side. As a result the Time is detected easily.
HOPE IT WILL HELP YOU.
