A gnomon is angled to accurately cast a shadow that reflects the position of the sun throughout the day and across different seasons. The angle is typically aligned with the Earth's axial tilt, allowing for precise timekeeping and solar tracking. This design enables it to function effectively as a sundial, helping to indicate time based on the sun's movement.

Another way to describe this is to say that the gnomon should be parallel to the Earth's axis.
