To use a sundial today, place it in a sunny location where it won’t be obstructed. Align the gnomon (the part that casts the shadow) with true north to ensure accurate timekeeping. As the sun moves, the shadow cast by the gnomon will indicate the time on the hour lines marked on the sundial's face. Remember, sundials typically show solar time, which may differ from standard clock time due to factors like the equation of time and daylight saving adjustments.
