Can someone please tell me what is the worlds largest sundial? If a
vertical tower, how high above the ground is the nodus? I have been
consulted by someone who is claiming that a tower he wants to use as a
sundial, which is 162m tall, will be the worlds largest dial. There are
many issues

Title: Largest sundial...
O Jackie Jones!
With the "largest sundial" the situation is pretty similar as with the tallest girl!
It is not necessary to be the tallest girl in town, but to be the most beautiful girl!
I remember pretty well the situation many years ago in Japan:
I heard Bill Nye The Science Guy talk about his father wanting to set
out marks for the Washington Monument.
Great idea, but the problem was the fuzzy shadow.

Based on a perusal of Guiness' World Records in the early 1990's, this honor goes to the Disney sundial in Orlando, FL, USA. However, the basis is not clear. Is it the footprint or its height or the total volume occupied, or ?

Does anyone know what the largest sundial in the world is? For some
reason I seem to think India -- but when searching the WWW, could not find
the answer. Thanks!

This was debated here three years ago. I think you're right that the largest

largest sundial as
situated at Jaipur in India. Built in 1724, the Samrat Yantra sundial is 36
metres high with a gnomon length of 27 metres.
A preliminary concept design of the sundial structure for Gisborne has
been prepared in conjunction with Opus International Consultants Ltd

You mention above that for 12-26 there is a variation in the

between -9 and -46 seconds, a 37 sec delta, over a four year period.
Which
4 year period did you calculate for? I have calculated and included

both the solar day length and EoT
read to less than a minute.
A consistent way of measuring this is a) does it tell accurate local time
and
b) how wide, in seconds, is the width of the gnomen's shadow.

Fellow Shadow Watchers,
Criteria for deciding the World's Largest Sundial? - aside from Bill

Dear All,
While I live in flatland USA around Chicago, I find the moving shadows
of the skyscrapers most interesting as viewed from Navy Pier in the late
afternoon. The shadows move so slowly yet they are so very long. But
the most awesome sight of shadows for me has got to be from Albuquerque
for a millennium monument, and the world's largest
sundial might be an amusing conceit.
I feel that we already have a grand monument to many past millennia. One
hopes it will continue to be contemplable by all dialists through many
future millennia.

What is the largest? I don't think you should regard the gnomon as being the
criterium, it can be much longer than necessary. I would suggest: the
largest actually used sundial face. The larger this face the larger the
gnomon will be (in general).
The largest I ever saw was in Munich, Germany. It
