Vertical South Dial
| View Cart ⇗ | Info
In the common vertical dial, the shadow-receiving plane is aligned vertically; as usual, the gnomon’s style is aligned with the Earth’s axis of rotation. As in the horizontal dial, the line of shadow does not move uniformly on the face; the sundial is not equiangular.
