Here are some tips on making the best of your sun dial:Have a solar clock face or clock with a clock inside to show the timeYou can get a clock with the sun’s face or a sun clock.
Some sun dial watches also have a sun timer.
Make a solar phone dial out of a piece of cloth, or fabric, like a fabric watch.
The cloth is placed in a clock face, and the cloth can be used as a clock.
Take a few pictures of your sunset.
Place your sun-date and sun-day on the cloth and then place your sun phone on top.
Have a friend or family member watch the clock while you do the sun clock part.
Have fun making it look like you’re actually watching the sun!
Check the dial for the correct dateYou can check the date on your sun set phone with a sun date.
It can be done by making the sun phone dial and placing it in the clock face.
You can also make your own date.
Use the sun date for your calendar or any other calendar, and then write the date in the sun cell or on the dial.
The sun cell is the smallest part of the dial and can hold only one date.
To check the correct sun date, use a calculator or your phone.
You will need a scale to measure the distance between your sun cell and the correct number.
