Solar and lunar eclipse
Product Code : SCL-MK-12518
The solar and lunar eclipse working model (SKU SCL-MK-12518) shows how the positions of the Sun, Earth and Moon produce the two kinds of eclipse. A hand crank moves the Moon around its orbit while an illuminated Sun casts visible shadows, so students can watch the Moon block sunlight in a solar eclipse and pass into Earth's shadow in a lunar eclipse. It suits science classes, exhibitions and projects.
