Hello 

Not sure about doing this with only one sundial but you can (apparently) with 
two.

See SunInfo (www.bit.ly/suninfo) look down the middle column to eight entries 
down for a light blue box entitled “Using two sundials to destroy the idea of a 
flat earth!!”

Subject: Can a sundial disprove Flat Earth?

Hello, 

In my country there is this growing Flat Earth movement akin to religious 
fundamentalism. No matter what you throw at them, they simply ignore it. There 
is even a big group on Facebook of about 5,000 users. I recently joined there 
for fun. First I thought they were joking, but everybody seems dead serious 
about it. I nearly got kicked out because my profile photo shows a large 
armillary sundial which they consider to be a globe.... So preposterous! :)

So I recently wondered: can a sundial can be used to prove the Earth is round? 
And what would be the simplest gnomonic proof for this?
