Day night explanation model
Product Code : SCL-MK-12470
The Day night explanation model (SKU SCL-MK-12470) is a working science model in which a bright reflector LED represents the Sun and a 6-inch globe on a tilted axis represents the Earth. This day and night model shows students that the half of the Earth facing the light has day while the other half is in shadow, as the globe rotates inside a 9 mm MDF enclosure.
Specifications
The model has a 9 mm MDF enclosure with a 1.5 sq ft footprint, one open viewing side and a darkened interior, a 6-inch (about 15.24 cm) globe on a tilted rotational axis, and a fixed bright reflector LED as the light source representing the Sun.
