Gnomon

Gnomon - one of the oldest and simplest astronomical instruments. Most often it is a properly mounted rod, whose shadow indicates the location of the sun. The length and direction of the shadow of the gnomon determine the height and azimuth of the sun. Also used in sun clocks. Gnomon was used by ancient astronomers to mark the heights and deviations of celestial bodies. Gnomones were built in Egypt, Mesopotamia, China, India, from about 3,000. p.n.e. Erected on public squares, constituted the right clocks of public clocks. Today, many of them are decorated by the squares of different capitals of the world, such as Paris, Rome or London. Gnomon – jeden z najstarszych i najprostszych przyrządów astronomicznych. Najczęściej jest to odpowiednio osadzony pręt, którego cień wskazuje położenie Słońca. Długość i kierunek cienia gnomonu wyznaczają wysokość i azymut słońca. Używany często też w zegarach słonecznych. Gnomon był używany przez astronomów starożytnych do oznaczania wysokości i zboczeń ciał niebieskich. Gnomony budowano w Egipcie, Mezopotamii, Chinach, Indiach, od ok. 3 tys. lat p.n.e. Wznoszone na placach publicznych, stanowiły prawzór zegarów publicznych. Obecnie wiele z nich zdobi place różnych stolic świata, np. Paryża, Rzymu czy Londynu.
