Difference between Solar time and Sundial

Solar time vs. Sundial

Solar time is a calculation of the passage of time based on the position of the Sun in the sky. A sundial is a device that tells the time of day when there is sunlight by the apparent position of the Sun in the sky.

Similarities between Solar time and Sundial

Solar time and Sundial have 16 things in common (in Unionpedia): Celestial equator, Circle, Diurnal motion, Earth's rotation, Ecliptic, Ellipse, Equation of time, Equinox, Gnomon, Local mean time, Meridian (astronomy), Position of the Sun, Sky, Sun, Tropical year, Universal Time.

Celestial equator

The celestial equator is the great circle of the imaginary celestial sphere on the same plane as the equator of Earth.

Circle

A circle is a simple closed shape.

Diurnal motion

Diurnal motion (lit, from dies, lit. "day") is an astronomical term referring to the apparent daily motion of stars around Earth, or more precisely around the two celestial poles.

Earth's rotation

Earth's rotation is the rotation of Planet Earth around its own axis.

Ecliptic

The ecliptic is the circular path on the celestial sphere that the Sun follows over the course of a year; it is the basis of the ecliptic coordinate system.

Ellipse

In mathematics, an ellipse is a curve in a plane surrounding two focal points such that the sum of the distances to the two focal points is constant for every point on the curve.

Equation of time

The equation of time describes the discrepancy between two kinds of solar time.

Equinox

An equinox is commonly regarded as the moment the plane (extended indefinitely in all directions) of Earth's equator passes through the center of the Sun, which occurs twice each year, around 20 March and 22-23 September.

Gnomon

A gnomon (from Greek γνώμων, gnōmōn, literally: "one that knows or examines") is the part of a sundial that casts a shadow.

Local mean time

Local mean time is a form of solar time that corrects the variations of local apparent time, forming a uniform time scale at a specific longitude.

Meridian (astronomy)

In astronomy, the meridian is the great circle passing through the celestial poles, the zenith, and the nadir of an observer's location.

Position of the Sun

The position of the Sun in the sky is a function of both the time and the geographic location of observation on Earth's surface.

Sky

The sky (or celestial dome) is everything that lies above the surface of the Earth, including the atmosphere and outer space.

Sun

The Sun is the star at the center of the Solar System.

Tropical year

A tropical year (also known as a solar year) is the time that the Sun takes to return to the same position in the cycle of seasons, as seen from Earth; for example, the time from vernal equinox to vernal equinox, or from summer solstice to summer solstice.
