Why does the shadow on the sundial move with time?
whaere is the answer
How does a sundial work please answer with anything its kinda important... Thanks?
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.
Why do the stars appear to move 360 degrees in 24hours?
A star appears to move 360 degrees because of the Earth's rotation. It's not the star that moves. It's the Earth.
How many degrees does the sun appear to move in one hour?
The sun appears to move 15 degrees in a one hour. However, it is really the Earth that rotates 15 degrees an hour, relative to the sun.15 degrees. (This is APPARENT motion only. The Earth is revolving. The Earth takes 24 hours to revolve 360 degrees.) 360 degrees/24 hours x 1 hour = 15 degrees
Why do stars appear to move through the sky at the rate of 15 degrees per hour?
Earth rotates on its axis at 15 degrees per hour

Does a shadow of a sundial move in a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction?
clockwise
Why does a clock move in a clockwise direction?
Clocks represent a sundial and the direction they move so we call that clockwise
What is needed to make things work or move?
Energy
Does a sundial change everyday?
The sundial itself doesn't really change day to day, or even year to year. They are generally fixed to the Earth and are not, in general, portable. The shadow cast by the "gnomon" (the pointer of the sundial) does move moment by moment throughout the day, and slightly from day to day.
Why is a transmission system needed?
In a car, a transmission system is needed because the engine does not make enough torque to make the car move.
How does the sun move without looking at it?
Look at the shadows cast by sunlight instead. For example, use a sundial.
