Shows the seasons of our planet over a year's time and physically portrays the exact location of the day and night terminator. A "6" diameter globe with 24 hour meridians drawn on its surface sits angled 23.5" on the rotating table. Turning this table changes the globe's seasonal aspect--one such revolution demonstrates the four seasons and each day is indicated on the table's calibrated scale. The globe can also be rotated on its axis to mimic daily motion. Set any date and time to see how the Earth is iluminated by the Sun at that point and to see the line of sunrise and sunset banding the Earth. Contents: operating instructions and globe on rotating table inside 7"x7" acrylic display box. | |
