The sun appears to rise in the East, move across the sky during the day and set in the West. A sundial has a pointy part which is called a gnomon. In the morning the shadow of its tip is in the West. During the day this shadow moves across the face of the sundial, and end up in the East. The gnomon is angled to take account of the latitude of the location and the sundial is graduated with marks which indicate the hours at which the shadow will fall at a particular place on the sundial.
