Sun, Earth & Moon Orbitor Model with LED

This interactive Sun, Earth & Moon Orbitor Model with LED is ideal for teaching the movement and relationship of these celestial bodies, supporting lessons on day, night, seasons, and lunar phases. Designed for classroom use, it helps learners visualise key Earth and Space concepts in line with the science curriculum.

This three dimensional model allows students to study the motion of the Earth and Moon around the sun, and demonstrates the science behind phenomena such as seasons, phases of the moon, eclipses, and tides. During Earth's one-year period of revolution, the tilt of its axis results in changes in the angle of incidence of the Sun's rays at a given latitude. These changes cause variation in the heating of the surface which produces seasonal variation in weather.

The Earth can be manually moved to show its rotation around the Sun, and the Moon can be moved to show its rotation around the Earth. 

Model includes a comprehensive experiment guide that includes three activities, worksheets and various topics for further exploration, as well as Solstice and Equinox charts.

• Gear-driven model with labelled base showing months of the year

• LED light inside the Sun demonstrates sunlight effects (2 x AA batteries required, not included)

• The sturdy base is labelled with the months of the year allowing learners to explore the relative positions of the Earth both monthly and seasonally.

• Dimensions: 310mm (H) x 413mm (W) x 121mm (L)

• Sun diameter: 150mm; Earth: 102mm; Moon: 26mm

• Includes experiment guide with activities and worksheets
