How to find the North 301
Stand facing the sun. Point the
hour hand at the sun and
1/2 way from the hour hand to the
XII, on the rim of the Watch is
South.
Explanation
The South point is half way between
the position of the sun and the
12 hour Mark, when the hour hand
is pointed toward the point of the
horizon directly below the Sun.
At noon, the hour hand
and XII are together, nd both
point to the sun, which is then in
the South.
At one hour from noon,
the hour hand is 1/12 of a
circumference or 30 degrees
from 12, and the sun is 15 deg. [degrees]
from the South point, or half way
between the hour hand and XII.
The Sun moved 15
deg. [degrees] in an hour. The hour
hand moves 30 deg [degrees] an hour,
or twice as fast
The same reasoning
applies to any hour of the day
