Depends on how many miles away. The sun orbits the earth every 24 hours. So, say there were two sundials, one in Las Vegas, and the other in Salt Lake City. They both would show different times, because the sun is continuously moving to another longitude. However, two sundials on the same longitude line will show the same time always (if both are set up accurately)

How do you use a sundial?

A sundial is a device that measures time by the position of the Sun. In common designs such as the horizontal sundial, the sun casts a shadow from its style onto a surface marked with lines indicating the hours of the day. The style is the time-telling edge of the gnomon, often a thin rod or a sharp, straight edge. As the sun moves across the sky, the shadow-edge aligns with different hour-lines. All sundials must be aligned with the axis of the Earth's rotation to tell the correct time. In most designs, the style must point towards true celestial north (not the north magnetic pole or south magnetic pole). That is, the style's horizontal angle must equal the sundial's geographical latitude.It is common for inexpensive decorative sundials to have incorrect hour angles, and these cannot be adjusted to tell correct.i just get this intruction from Wikipedia programmer "Brandon Harris"

What is the Foxboro company sun dial?

The front of the building at 38 Neponset Ave., Foxboro, MA has a large beautiful sundial. At any time of day, one can read the sundial like any other to see the "sun time". If one looks at the sun dial at noon, one can read the date. The gnomon is angled towards the southeast. If you stop at the guard desk at the building, the guard/s some times have a pamphlet with history and details about the sundial that you may read. Note that "sun time" and "human clock time" often do not match. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/gnomon

How do you read time on a sun dial?

To read time on a sundial, note where the shadow falls on the dial. The time is indicated by the position of the shadow on the numerals or marks that correspond to the current time. Sundials work by tracking the movement of the sun throughout the day and are most accurate when the sun is directly overhead.
