Sundial Die Sonnenuhren I

These two solar timepieces are a wonderful introduction to the diverse world of sundials. Combined on a single sheet of cardboard, the watches show solar time in different ways.

With luminous numbers and light spot

The digital sundial displays the time with luminous numerals. The numbers are projected onto the display field via a curved dial. This makes this solar clock the little sister of the even more sophisticated large digital sundial.

The equatorial sundial, on the other hand, uses a light spot to show the time of day and even the months. It gets its name from the position of the dial, which is parallel to the equatorial plane.

Both watches are suitable for all Central European latitudes.

For teachers and students

Both sundials are easy to build and are ideal as teaching materials in secondary schools. Like all other astro materials, they can of course also be used for other group and project work on the subject of astronomy and physics.
