Greek sundials typically featured a gnomon (a vertical stick or rod) that cast a shadow on a flat surface marked with hour lines, and they were often designed to be portable. In contrast, Egyptian sundials were generally more fixed structures, often incorporating a horizontal plate with hour marks and a gnomon that was aligned with the cardinal directions. Additionally, Egyptian sundials were used primarily for agricultural purposes, while Greek sundials were more focused on daily timekeeping and philosophical inquiry.
Sundials use the posidtion of the sun to cast a shadow on the dial. You can then read the number on where the shadow falls to get the time. As a result, no, there shouldn't be different types of sundials.
