Sundial defined by wikipedia "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// (a thin rod or a sharp, straight edge) onto a flat surface marked with lines indicating the hours of the day. As the sun moves across the sky, the shadow-edge progressively aligns with different hour-lines on the plate" (Wikipedia, 2010) For more information of sundials visit the wikipedia site [|Wikipedia sundial]. Simply put a sundial is a clock that tells time by the shadows created from the sun!
