Hi to all Mylot friend's around the world.
Yeah...Long long years ago and before clocks were invented,people could tell the time by watching the position of the sun in the sky.
They are also experts in predicting time like early morning,mid-day and evening by seeing the sun.
But it was not a accurate way of time telling.Also it is very difficult to say exact hours with minutes.
Could you predict time accurately by seeing sun?

I could predict time without a watch/clock and without seeing sun.

.l have heard about sundial that in ancient days,Mathematicians were invented Shadow Clock called sundial.They have drawn a circle with hours of the day from sunrise to sunset.But l never saw directly.Also Now a days, people using Sundial device...Do you have practical experience on Sundial?

@manikarnika I cannot predict that. That'd be all the more difficult in case of a cloudy/rainy day. But, yeah as other users mentioned, a Sundial is most useful.

I think I can but just like them, I cannot tell the exact time. I remember when I was in elementary, I saw an illustration if my Science textbook. It was a sun dial. But I cannot remember exactly the details of the sun dial and how to use them.

by using a sundial, we can know what time it is. or when my shadow falls under where i stand, meaning, i do not see my shadow, it is high noon. well, not seeing the position of the sun, but where our shadow falls, we can see what time it is.
