  • Friends today with a printed card sheet we will make a Sun Dial and with its help measure the local time. This idea of this Sun Dial comes from the South African Astronomical Observatory. Please take a printout of this card sheet from our website. Carefully cut various parts from the card sheet. All these card parts will be assembled together to make the Sun Dial. First we will make the stand. For this make slits in these three pieces at designated places. Then apply glue and assemble all 3 pieces to make the stand. On this stand will be mounted the Sun Dial. There is a strip with markings of 6, 12, 18 etc. This will help you measure time from 6 AM to 6PM. Stick this strip on the semi circular strip as shown to make the Dial for measuring time.
    There are two other strips to measure the Angle. Stick the white strip with two holes on the ends to the semi circular strip. Weave a skewer through the two holes as shown. This stick should point towards the Pole Star at the local level. In the city of Pune the Pole star’s angle is 18.6-degrees. We have aligned the angle semi-circle to match 18.6-degrees. Make two cuts at this mark. Stick the Time Dial at right angles to the angle strip as shown. The Sun Dial is now ready to use. Inspect it from various angles.
    Now place the Sun Dial out in the Sun. See the shadow of the stick falling on the Time Dial. The shadow falls at between 11 and 12. So, it11.30 AM in Pune at this time. On the Time Dial you will be able to approximately read the time between 6 AM and 6 PM.
