I made a sun dial clock for a clock contest!

Warning! This is a “traditional horizontal” sundial designed for a latitude of 10° North!

Put the sun dial clock in the sun.

Aim the north side of the clock pointing north (you may need a compass).

The shadow of the pencil is the hour hand!

If it is sunny you can tell roughly what hour it is (only if you use it correctly)!
