Sundials are one hour slower in the summer in places that use Daylight Saving Time. They aren't slower 'due to GMT'. GMT, or standard Universal Time, (UCT, I believe) remains the same all year regardless of where you are; GMT is not adjusted for Daylight Saving Time. You could, of course, turn your sundial to adjust for Daylight Saving Time, but if you are that interested in accurate time, you probably would not rely on a sundial.

Only one side of the moon faces Earth because?
This is common for most moons. - Assuming that the Moon ever rotated faster than now, over time it would have rotated slower and slower, due to tidal forces. (Similarly, if it rotated slower, such tidal forces would have make it rotate faster.) Similarly, the Earth's rotation slows down over time, and in a far future, it will always face the same side to the Moon.
Why is the sun warmer in the summer?
During summer months, the part of the world having summer is close to a right angle to the rays of the sun, giving the most heat to the area exposed. During winter, the tilt of the earth means the sun's rays strike the earth at an angle, meaning that they spread over a larger area, giving less heat. When it is summer in the northern half of the world, it is winter in the southern half. Temperature difference is not due to distance from the sun, but due to the tilt of the earth. If distance was the determining factor, both north and south would be the same temperature.
Why are there more or less hours of daylight or darkness during June and December in north America?

What happens to shadows in the afternoon?

What is the reason of pendulum clocks become slow in summer?
During the summer the pendulum which is generally made of metal, expands due to the rise in temperature. this causes the pendulum to move slower and hence the clock becomes slower.
How did they use sundials?
They used sundials to keep track of time using the sun. At "high noon", the sun was at its highest point, and in such a position that made the stick's shadow point at 12, then every "hour" after 12, they marked the dial in the other 11 places, making the first sundial. Sundials have advanced to use a triangle with a concavely curved side, and roman numerals instead of rocks and such. Also, they couldn't have minute hands due to the fact there couldn't be a second shadow for a second object in the center.
Why does pendulum clock run faster in winter but slower in summers?
the pendulum clocks gets slow because in summer its length increases due to expansion of heat but in winter it doesnt happens.
