How is a watch like a ruler?

Answer 1

first, draw a big circle with a piece of paper. 2nd draw the number and arrows.Numbers until 24 arrows too. 3rd poke a hole on the middle of the paper. 4thput a straight unroll thing.5th wrapped the straight thing that you put.6th put the sundial onto a blank place 5th see where the shadows goes and that is the time

Answer 2

A watch is like a sundial, because both are instruments that help us to tell time. Watches are to be worn on the wrist, and are therefore much more convenient to use than a sundial, which must remain stationary in full sunlight.

Answer 3

A sundial consists of a gnomon (the pointer) and a base plate, where the time is indicated by the Sun's shadow of the gnomon. It must be designed and calibrated for the particular latitude.

However, the Equation of Time records the actual position of the Sun through the sky, and this is not a simple curve. The corrections enabled by this equation are roughly +17 min and -14 min throughout the year. These corrections are usually indicated on the baseplate.

Sundial baseplates may be either vertical or horizontal.

Answer 4

A watch has a clock face, and the hour hand goes round once in 12 hours. The sun, on the other hand goes round once in 24 hours. If you have not advanced your watch for "daylight saving", the watch hour hand therefore rotates angularly twice as fast as the sun, which is south (very nearly) at noon. So if you place your watch flat, and point the hour hand to the sun, "south" must be halfway between the hour hand and "12". If you have advanced your watch by one hour, then the sun is south at 1pm, so South is half way between the hour-hand and "1".

Answer 5

There are horizontal sundials and vertival sundials. There are horizontle sundials and verticle sundials.

Answer 6

A sundial measures time by the location of the sun casting a shadow on the sundial. Depending on the location of the shadow and it's length, you can estimate the time of day.

Answer 7

it casts a shadow on a certain place on the sundial and were the shadow casts is the time

Answer 8

both have numbers

Answer 9

they both have numbers a watch tells time and ruler is to measure
