Questions About All Armillaries
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021
    Hellenistic Greeks invented and used armillary spheres in the third century as a way to understand the horizon, meridian, equator, tropics and polar circles of the earth. They function as skeletal globes.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    To use an armillary sundial, first place the sundial on the base without securing it. Then use a compass to find true north, and point the gnomon in that direction. Shop a collection of armillary sundials from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    To read an armillary sphere, first familiarize yourself with the parts. The ring along the base is the horizon. On the armillary, the outermost ring is the meridian, while the largest inner ring is the ecliptic ring. Locate the date on the ecliptic ring and place a marker that represents the sun on it. Turn the sphere to trace the path the sun will take on that day. Use the markings on the horizon to find the ascension of the sunrise, and the ecliptic ring to find out the elevation of the sun at noon. Find a collection of armillary spheres on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    To make your very own armillary sundial, first, take two hoops and mark 90 degrees apart on each hoop. Then, glue the two hoops together at the marked points. Lock in a straight piece of wood between the two, set your device at 45 degrees and voila! Or, save the hassle and shop a selection of collectable armillary sundials on 1stDibs.
