One way is to say to someone, "if you tell me what time it is I will give you this lovely sundial."

Another is by examining the position of the shadow left on the scale by the "gnomon." Then a correction may be required based on the day of the year. Because sundials require a shadow be cast, they will only work during sunny days.

How do you calibrate a sundial?

The gnomon of a sundial is cut to a certain size depending on the latitude of the sundial's location. If the gnomon is not of the correct size, it can be compensated for by raising or lowering the lower edge of the sundial until all times are accurate. Calibration is fairly simple. Using a precise time measurement, when it is noon, go outside and position the sundial so the shadow of the gnomon is on noon on the sundial. Check it again at 1 pm, and adjust as needed.
