Have you ever wanted to actually see how
Alaska experiences complete days in darkness or daylight? Have you ever wondered
why the International Dateline has such significance in the business world? The
National Geographic Planet Earth can answer these
questions and many more. With the light off the globe shows
the political map of the world. When the light is on, it shows the physical
features of the world - but that's not all. This unique educational tool also
shows day and nighttime for any time, date, and location in the world throughout
the four seasons. It can be manually adjusted both forward and backward to see
past, present, and future hours of daylight and darkness for easy demonstration
and understanding. A pinpoint light shows the actual location of the sun
throughout the year. Unique "twilight rings" depict the three zones of
dawn and dusk. The superb design and engineering, combined with the expert
cartography of National Geographic creates a learning tool that is fun and easy
to use. The base is a matte brass finish. The 12” model stands at an
overall height of 15 inches and offers over 3500 place names. The 14”
model stands at 17 inches and offers nearly 5000 place names. Place names
include continents, countries, cities, bodies of water, bathymetric ocean data,
hand drawn physical relief, and a remarkably colorful display in 17 layers of
color printing. Comes complete with a detailed instruction booklet and Certificate of
Authenticity.
