About This Product
Setting the pointer to June shows the Northern Hemisphere leaning towards the light at the summer solstice; moving the lever round the dial carries the Earth through the equinoxes and the winter solstice. Spinning the globe on its own spindle shows a place such as India passing between day and night, so students can see how day length and the angle of sunlight change with the season and latitude.
