Sure it is a clock.....but it is not as accurate as an atomic clock.

What makes one clock more accurate than another?


The frequency in the sun dial clock is not very repeatable. Also a sun

dial

clock is not available in different frames. An atomic clock can be

carried

to different frames.



How do you suppose you could determine whether the frequency of a clock
is repeatable?


You compare a number of them to see if they show the same elapsed time after
a while.

What does that have to do with repeatability? And suppose you compare the elapsed times on "a number of them" and they're not the same - how are you going to decide which one is the most accurate?


You really think a clock's accuracy is a function of how easy it is to
carry it?


No but we were talking about a sundial clock vs an atomic clock.

So? If ease of transportation isn't related to accuracy, why did you bring it up in response to a question about how to determine a clock's accuracy?
